He said he loved Gamecube but not Wii, im not sure if Nintendo should be listening to people who want them to go back to a console that sold poorly even though it only cost $99 for over half its life.

A better library with a cheaper price. Way better than the current situation.

This.  This more than anything.  I don't regret my purchase as I have enjoyed the library thoroughly and it has games that mix it up.  But the price has been one of the things that, for me, has just royally irritated me for years.  I would bet money or more that Nintendo missed out on millions, probably 5+ million, in sales from their price mismanagement alone.  Cause remember all that positivity in 2014?  How many didn't buy in because they were exactly like I was all the way up until the fall of 2015:  waiting for what they (and anyone with any sense) assumed was an innevitable price drop?  Just one of the many ways Nintendo made dead certain to undermine their own successes this gen.  And I'm just going to say it:  Nintendo were cowards.  They were afraid, afraid to go all in, afraid to bet on their own hand.  They had four aces in 2014 and rather than raise the stakes, they freaking folded.
