Nintendo gave up on the GameCube by 2005 too ... it's holiday 2005 "big game" was Mario Party, lol.

So lets not act like that had a full 5 year cycle either. Nintendo supported it from 2001-2004 primarily, and then had sort wishy washy support in 2005 and basically nothing in 2006.

It was supported by having Twilight Princess not be canned on GC. Granted no one company can keep a console alive with few games. But that did release and finished the GC support at 5 years.
