You are probaly right if I remember right I think Nintendo still made profit on GameCube, really the only failure they had was Virtual Boy.

"really the onmly failure they had was Virtual Boy."

Most underrated system ever. I love my Virtual Boy so much. I think there could've been some awesome games, too bad everybody hated it.

I'm with yah I loved the Virtual Boy (I bought it when it dropped to 70$ in the stores), it was so unique and the 3D visuals still look amazing even today. Sadly it gave you a headache and was kind of cumbersome to use, which I think hurt it alot.

The Cumbersome to use part probably hurt it the most.  I could see the games being put on a regular TV screen with some jimming and not hurting the experience.  There were some gems on that system.

Yeah - I think they said at E3 '05 that when creating the Revolution (at the time), they had the advantage of looking at it from two perspectives; as the second-largest software publisher and also as the second largest hardware producer..
