I think Nintendo is too afraid of the gamecube... The gamecube was more powerful than the ps2 and had the best controller at the time as well as it inspired the 360 controller... It really was just a gaming system that had everything that a "hardcore" gamer needed but it didn't sell... So I think Nintendo will never try to make a "plain" console ever again..

But I do wonder what the successor would be... Clearly the Tablet is not enough and so isn't motion controls and they have to make it powerful enough to be competitive... It will be interesting for sure

But do not get your hopes up... Its better to not get hyped and get wowed but get hyped and be dissappointed

The Gamecube was FAR from hardcore.  

-It looked like a kids toy

-It had near zero network and media capabilities

-None of Nintendo's exclusives really benifited from the extra horsepower.  

If it was hardcore where was something like COD, SOCOM, or Halo?  There wasn't.

console fps wasnt big at 2001... and cod1 was great, but no one played it online. there were other fps and we were playing em on the PC...

(n64 had some great fps too)

halo 2 started the console fps boom, that was 2004...

2001 was quake vs ut and the rising of cs. and other genres were big too.

SC was realy big an everybody was waiting for warcraft 3 and nintendo couldnt go for that audience, there were to much great games in the genre...

 

the rest isnt true too..

the gc dont look like a kidstoy(or u had a sad sad childhood).

but it didnt looked good then(today im more easy on that, it aged  well,much better  than the xbox or the ps2, both look realy dated today).

and u could see the more power the gc had in the most games, the ps2 couldnt to this kind of grafic and dynamic.

 

and no one used networks on konsoles in that generation, kids cant imagine today, but back in the day the internet was freaking slow, even if u lived at a good spot...
