Gamecube, Wii U (Gamecube HD) strategy just doesn't work for Nintendo. Third parties are the bread and butter for Xbox and Playstation but for Nintendo success has come only when they tried to make a mass market device and support it with their own first and second party software. Differentiating its product from competitors, rather than imitating them.

The size and storage of the discs, the colour of the consoles or design are just silly conjecture based hypothesis. I had the original xbox. It was a monster black and green brick with some big ass controller at launch. It got more 3rd party support as a new entrant to the gaming world than Nintendo did with Gamecube. Go figure but without the old purple lunchbox and size of the discs hypothesis.
