It did happen, and it should be considered, but so should everything.  Saying Nintendo is fine because the Wii did so well is in fact ignoring a lot of factors.  All of the solid evidence points to a downward trend, and literally every system except the Wii supports that theory.  The exception can be explained, thus still supporting the theory.

Sales don't say everything of course.

GC >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> PS3 /XBOX profit wise

We don't know that. Nintendo never set apart the revenue figures for the GC and the GBA. We know the company as a whole posted a loss when the GC was down to $99 by the end of 2003. So the GC must have sold significantly below break-even for a large part of its lifetime.

Not to mention I think their pricing strategy might have been more detrimental than helpful to its sales due to negative value perception... the GC kept selling very poorly beside a good month or two after the famed pricecut to $99.
