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 Wii U is far closer to the Wii in concept (weak hardware, gimmicky control), then it is to the gamecube (powerful hardware, unitrusive design/control).

Nintendo have had 5 financially successful home console generations and the blue ocean strategy only played part in one of the them. Wii U tried it with the tablet and failed, Wii U is not designed for the core gaming market like the NES, SNES, n64 and Gamecube (all which were all very profitable)

I disagree but am really not interested in going back and forth with this. We've beaten this drum so many times on this site. Am not really sure good arguments ever really change the viewpoints of the those with opposing outlook anyway. 

Cheers.
