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.
I seriously doubt that the Gamecube would have done all that much better with Rare on board, and I also think you should be careful about calling a system a "flop" when it was as profitable as the Gamecube was -- Nintendo made more money in the PS2 era than Sony did (on gaming).

Also, I'm not sure why you included the second sentence.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
