Not going to lie... the original post is ludicrous.
Nintendo's biggest mistake was breaking their deal with Sony for the SNES CD. Every other mistake was a side bar to this mistake.
Nintendo's smartest move was using Gunpei's ideology to create DS and Wii. Unfortunately, they stopped paying attention to Gunpei once they got to the top and the mistake of the SNES CD snafu has outlasted the positives of paying attention to Gunpei.
This makes Gamecube a push as Wii would not exist without it.
Also, Gamecube had far more mistakes than its release date. As a matter fact, the release date was hardly an obstacle at all. People did not want a purple, "lunchbox" with a controller that they thought was less than adequate and childish looking. Wii launched two days after PS3 and we all know how that went.
