Nintendo's problem is that they don't hype their system in advance. I've been seeing articles about the PS3 for a year now! "The PS3 processor it 1000 times faster than a Pentium 4!", "The PS3 features multi processing in it's CPU!", etc... The Gamecube is clearly superior to the PS2 but they didn't bother to let anyone know that. Nintendo just sits back and says things like "people don't care about graphics, they care about our innovative games". They really have no clue what the casual gamer thinks. The casual gamer is not a hardcore gamer, The casual gamer goes by hype, Hype is spread by other casual gamers.
Think about it.... what have you heard people say? typically you hear things like "Check out the graphics in that game!" or "You can play this game online!". We typically don't hear "I want a Gamecube because I hear that Nintendo is making innovative games!". Nintendo is so far out of touch with the casual gamers. Casual gamers are the majority of the console purchasers, feed them some hype!
I got Mario Kart for Xmas and after about 30 minutes I was saying "is that all?". I can't believe how short it is! and it looks like the N64 game.
