Gamecube made profit.

No it didn't. If Gamecube made a profit, Nintendo would have made significantly more money than it did. The home console business cut heavily into the profits turned by the handheld division.

Yes it did. Been proven time and time again. They originally planned to extend its life than make a successor. Then again a Wii is a Gamecube. So mission accomplished.
