GC have sold bad, but have had much multiplatform.

The "kiddie console" stigma and lack of DVD really hurt that platform. 

If NOA had been allowed to call the shots on the GameCube instead of the Japanese guys IMO it would have performed better. 

How so? Nintendo of America is just one of Nintendo's foreign localization and marketing firms. They do not develop or design any software or hardware.

Reggie and the boys at NOA know how to appreal to the 18-24 Call of Duty demographic in the west. Nintendo's Japanese heads have shown several times that they do not Iwata admitted this. NCL is the reason Nintendo's marketing/brand is so "kiddie" in the west. Also, Nintendo of America DID cultivate relationships with developers and make their own games at one point; Arakawa/Lincoln leaving didn't help that, and Iwata completly killed that. Microsoft also poached a lot of guys from NOA at the time. I can post a quote from NeoGAF if you want more proof.
