It must be very confusing for Nintendo management. They release powerful consoles for their time; N64 and Gamecube and neither sell that well but then they re-release their old console the Gamecube with a new controller and few upgrades and charge a lot more for it and its a huge success.

The Nintendo brand image now is probably damaged and weakened. While commercially successful for Nintendo the wii did little good for third party developers and publishers. I think Nintendo has a deserved reputation with consumers for weak hardware now and I think for software companies the Nintendo brand probably means even less with regard home consoles.
