In fairness, the Gamecube came out more than 11 years ago.  A lot can, and has, changed since then. 

Not much has changed within Nintendo though.They got lucky with the Wii and now they're trying to replicate that but it isn't working.

Internally, no, not much has changed. But the gaming scene has sort of twisted around them a bit over the last decade. The DS and Wii's success led some of their franchises to assume unprecedented levels of exposure. Mario Kart and Smash are a lot bigger than they used to be, though probably not as big as they need to be.

And yeah, it definitely isn't working. They have some work to do if they want to make the console work.
