It's true that the original Xbox never turned a steady profit, even with software sales and the like.
GameCube seemed to be barely profitable, or at least it didn't lose billions and billions of dollars. Saying it failed may be too strong of a word. But it sold well below Nintendo's expectations. They probably expected at least N64 lifetime sales, hopefully SNES lifetime sales or higher.
It's such a shame that even with a $99.99 price point in the states from early 2003 onward, the GameCube still didn't make much of a splash.
Obviously Nintendo's biggest failure of a home console critically and commercially is the Wii U. And their biggest platform flop ever was the Virtual Boy.
