Nintendo did "it" first. The Gamecube's problem was due to the fact that unlike the N64, it's software was pretty much run of the mill. Wind Waker didn't change the way we think of games like OOT. Sunshine didn't change the way we play platformers like SM64. Metroid Prime, as awesome as it was, didn't change the way we play FPS games. The games that came out for Gamecube were great, but they were just more of the same. THAT'S why it failed.
If Nintendo wants to rise again, they have the do what they did between the NES and N64 era. They have to reinvent the wheel and create games and gameplay that DEFINE a generation. They can't just make NSMB and call it a day.
