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.

2001-2005 isn't "five years of support" last I checked. 2005 was basically mostly outsourced projects (ie: Namco making Mario Baseball).
They abandoned most internal GameCube development in order to support the Nintendo DS, which was a smart move because the DS was far, far (faaaaaar) more successful in the long run.

The game came out in 2006 no? 5 years. I always count the final game the console maker releases the last point in the support. Even games like Fifa 14 on PS2.
