Was Nintendo right to opt out of the graphics arms race?

Yeah at the time Gamecube did not fit the era of edgy tone of the 2000s and trying to be a all in one entertainment device. The logo did and the NOA ads were edgy but the console did not look the part. Esp the controllers. I hate how PS2 looks and Xbox but they fit the era. I like the Gamecube design a lot and always have. That was one thing Reggie touched on before Wii was revealed (Revolution at the time) is he promised the next console would look sexy and Gamecube was not that.
