So what!? l mentione most successful generation in history of gaming, you can't clearly do that if "all demons are still haunting them till this day".

Price with DVD player for GC would be higher in any case, on launch or at end of life, GC at end have price of $100. Wii didnt had classic DVD player and you can't really compare price of DVD in last generation and in generation before that.

Price of classic DVD player (PS2 basically had that) was definitely much higher than GC mini DVD player in that gen, lotsa people were buying PS2 use it like DVD player also.

Nintendo had bad relationship with 3rd party even with SNES and NES, buy both consoles were best selling in its genes. Like I wrote,bigest their mistake in history of their consoles was N64 cartridge format that could 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" stament clearly isnt true, and thats whole my point.

Ok. So since this is the worse generation ever for Nintendo is that on the demons of the past or you will put them all on the mistakes of the present, that they are seemingly wanting to repeat?

What evidence do you have to say a standard piece of equipment would be much higher than the non-standard that performs the basic same function but with a different size? PS2 was under 100,00 as well and the price tag doesn't determine the cost to manufacture with clarity. I'm not comparing the price of DVD of gen 7 to gen 8, but since GC and PS2 were in the same gen I can compare both.

What mini DVD player was available at the market to purchase? Bluray players at PS3 launch were more expensive than PS3, does that mean that the bluray drive on PS3 was more expensive than the whole machine?

They had bad relationship, but had no real alternative in SNES or NES, as soon as that ended being the case they dropped nintendo really hard and haven't come back yet.

No, beacuse they have some of those mistakes last gen too, this gen they made more mistake than ever before with Wii U, blooady mess, but doesnt have anuthing with "demons from the past".

Because you can't use DVD on device like that, because you need to pay fees for DVD player and DVD discs!? I remmeber back than DVD players were pretty expansive, and we know Nintendo made profit even with $100 GC, so defiantly one of reasons why Nintendo went with mini DVD is price point of console.

We know that blueray player of PS3 rased price of console to $600 and even with that price Sony made loss.

Regardless 3rd party relationship, N64 would had much better support if N64 had CD, how you can fit game of 700MB to cartridge of max size of 64MB, that is reason why N64 basically didn't had any 3rd party support not bad relationship.
