I'm pretty certain that the conventional path for Nintendo would have only have had them produce a system that sold less than the Gamecube ... The Gamecube was easy to develop for, very powerful and inexpensive and struggled because they could not afford to deal with the same strategies that Sony and Microsoft could; if Microsoft is throwing around money to get publishers to port games to their system it makes it very difficult for Nintendo to convince these same publishers to port the same game without some sort of "incentive".
