It's a general rule that the gaming population's response to Nintendo consoles is always the opposite of actual market reaction. "Gamers" hated the DS and Wii and both systems flew of the shelves. People were totally excited for the 3DS and look how that turned out - they had to cut the price drastically and shift resources towards the handheld to increase sales. Reaction to the Wii U was positive as well (much better than gamers reacted to the Wii!) and... well we know the rest of the story. The Gamecube and N64 were also positively received. The Gamecube got lots and lots of doom but that was due to the "console war". In general the Gamecube was seen in a positive light by core gamers.
So next time gamers go wild over a Nintendo console - be alarmed and sell you stock haha.
