Fact is that GC is far most 3rd party oriented console than every other Nintendo console was from SNES, and yet GC failed. After GC Nintendo changed strategy.

I said most successful generation in history of gaming, not most successful console (even is most sucfule Nintendo console), Wii+DS make most successful generation in history of gaming, thats 255m units of hardware and almost 2b units of software.

There is reason why exatly Wii U is their worst selling console, they made too many mistakes with Wii U, it was bloady mess, it have nothing with "ghosts of the pasts".

 

Regardless, ever cd based console failed before ps1 and that is clear fact.

Some games couldnt fit on mini DVD but huge majority could fit on dual layer mini DVD.

Other guy said that Nintendo doing same mistakes they done in 90" or they done with N64 and GC, but clear fact is that biggest mistake for N64 was cartridge format, something similar could say for GC, and Nintendo dont have those problems with Wii U, so he is obviously wrong. You can have 50GB Wii U game on dual layer disk, but you clearly dont need 50GB for 720p console.

So you insist on including HH on a conversation that have nothing to do with it just to make it seems better and also do a false cause/effect correlation to justify the lack of CD? Ok them keep going.

Even Nintendo had some games where they needed 2 discs, so they clearly choose the mini-DVD for dumb reasons, worst, it was even more expensive to produce than a common DVD.

And they are doing the same mistakes... the biggest one is their bad relationship with 3rd parties on consoles, and that is still in place. You said GC was the most 3rd party oriented console Nintendo made... but was it from what they though 3rd party wanted or what they said they wanted? I would bet more on the first. And when they assumed they made the mistake. That is the Nintendo way, to dictate what others may want

Why I would not include HH, I include them because last gen Nintendo with its HW has most successful generation in history of gaming, you can't clearly do that if "all demons are still haunting them till this day".

You realise that back then DVD player wasn't cheap eat all, you also realise that having classic DVD disc would make Nintendo pay fees!? GC had very afordible price, one of reasons for that is not having DVD player.

I gave you bigest their mistake in history of their consoles, N64 cartridge format that can hold only 8-64MB compared to 700NB of CD, and guess what, they did not make same mistake with Wii U, so "all demons are still haunting them till this day" clearly isnt true, and thats whole my point.
