Well Nintendo never lost Rare, Rare wanted to be sold off due to the lack of funding in there later years under Nintendo. Nintendo actually sold there 51% shares of Rare to MS who brought the entire 100% of the company. Activision were also front runners to obtain Nintendo's company.

To Nintendo is wasn't a loss as they were the ones to make the call and agree in selling them.

Nintendo weren't interested in owning Rare outright.

Stamper is at a loss as to why Nintendo didn't step in and open up its chequebook:

Stamper - "I've no idea why they didn't do that. I thought we were a good fit."

 

In terms of content, Crash and Spyro hold no light on Rare and there games. So Rare would be a huge loss in terms of games if I understand the comparison correctly.
