It would have been nice if Nintendo didn't sell Rare

Guys. Microsoft bought Rare. It was a matter of them having a lot more than Nintendo. Nintendo didn't want them to go. They were their best 3rd party developer at the time. Microsoft bought them as a way to undermine Nintendo. This is well known.

It worked GameCube flopped. A generation on Nintendo Wii has turned it around in a blink of an eye, Wii has bolted ahead of its competition.

Umm, so GameCube flopped because Nintendo lost Rare? And Wii now won because Nintendo still doesnt have Rare?

Brilliant logic.

Nintendo changed there direction with Nintendo wii, became more innovative by introducing motion control through Wii remote. More casuals and previous non-gamers (including grandma's, grandpa's, the whole family) all jump on board the Wii band wagon. Gamecube provided nothing more than same old enhanced N64 games. Rare as we have seen has gone downhill significantly by launching failed project one after the other since Microsoft bought them out.

 BTW: Microsoft + Rare = Fail.  Nintendo + Rare = Success
