Nintendo is Unique! Sony and M$ imo will sell more but cripple? Nooooope! They dont have MK/SSB/Mario 3D/Zelda!!!!

Game cube had these game too, look how well that turned out. While it might have been decent for Nintendo, is certainly didn't help the company grow.

 

Now are they Doomed? No, not by a long shot. but it would be helpful for Nintendo to stay relevant if they had 3rd party support and a mix of core and family attitudes.

don't try to compare this to the gamecube days. first of all. they competed against  the highest selling (till 2012) consol, the ps2. they had a new rivale, the xbox. the console design and controller design was also not very appealing to many people. their games of their franchises were all new tries (sunshine, starfox adventures, metroid prime, wind waker, double dash, luigi's mansion, eternal darkness, etc.). these games were all good but many didnt like it cause they expected something different after the n64 era.

Think about everything you just said, and then you might realize how close to the gamecube the Wii U actually is.
