Powerful console <> 3rd parties are coming

It's a common misconception the 3rd-parties are missing the Nintendo-boat because of power. If this was the case, they would've come to Gamecube.

They didn't come to Gamecube because their games couldn't fit on a mini disc. 

Nintendo started to loose 3rd party support long before the Gamecube came along, those issues were starting to show themselves during the SNES era.
The optical disk limitation was an issue, but Nintendo also had some strict guidlines on what could and couldn't be on their consoles. (Aka. The Mortal Kombat issue.)

Plus the original Xbox missed out on allot of games as well. That console did not have -any- of the technical shortcomings of the Gamecube and it's software environment was an ease to build games for.

The fact is, the Playstation 2 dominated the industry at that time and Microsoft, Sega and Nintendo suffered because of it.
