An overclocked GameCube bought by idiot consumers who don't know shit about real gaming who will hit themselves in the head when they realize the superior graphics of the 360 and PS3.
Nintendo Wii consumer - "My Wii is small and cheap. I love to play with my Wii all day."
360 Consumer - "I don't know if he's having a seizure or playing with his Wii. I'm going to watch an HD-DVD movie."
PS3 consumer - "When I got off work at my law firm. I'll hop in my Mercedes and buy a specially designed, gold-plated PS3 complete with rims and no vibrator. Then I'll pay $30 for a movie that came out 20 years ago just to watch it on my big-screen HD-TV 1080p."

Get the Nintendo Wii mug.Nintendo gaming consoles were, for a very long period of time, the monopoly of the gaming industry. However, advances in PC gaming technology, as well as the intergration of the failing Sega company into the growing Sony Playstation market, and the introduction of Microsoft's X-Box, have proven to be potent in a market which Nintendo has been unable to succeed in the past decade... the adolescent market.
Nintendo's marketing strategy consists of gearing itself towards younger gamers, which more child-like titles, while at the same time attempting to win back it's nostalgia fanbase with remakes of classics such as Zelda and Metroid. Unfortunately, in the face of powerhouses such as the GTA series, Halo, and PC titles like Half-Life and pretty much any game Blizzard makes, Nintendo has been unable to compete with Sony and Microsoft.
This has lead to what some people believe the Nintendo Gamecube being the last Nintendo system (much like Sega's Dreamcast). The opposition to this are, the aforementioned 'nostalgia' gamers, who during the late 80's earlier 90's, instead of actually studying in school or working and getting money, played 'The Last Great Console' (NES or SNES, depending on what moron you ask) all day, and are now 30 year old males sitting in their parent's basement longing for the 'good ol days' when game challenges consist of whether or not Mario was going to move the direction you told him to.
Nintendo's latest marketing ploy is the DS, in an attempt to winback the handheld gaming industry in which it has dominated with it's Gameboy. However, heavy advertising and anticipation for Sony's PSP prove to be more than a match for Nintendo.
The 80's are over people. MJ is a pedophile, Alf went back to his planet, and Nintendo is a has-been gaming company.

Nowadays, whenever I visit a friends house, and the idea of playing video games come up, it's either Halo 2, GTA:SA, or a Sony sporting game... not Mario Kart on SNES you imbeciles.

Get the Nintendo mug.Proper Noun: An inferior gaming console primarily used by amateur or casual gamers, girls and homosexual males.
Many more serious gamers speculate that it appeals to these demographics due to the juvenile/childlike nature of many of the game titles, and the haphazard nature of the control design.
The vast majority of hardcore ignore the console entirely as if it does not exist.

Get the Nintendo Wii mug.Nintendo's new "revolutionary" console which supposedly will change the gaming industry with it's 4 buttons for gameplay including the nunchuk attachment (look up a picture on a search engine), arm-aching motion-sensing technology which requires a steady hand if one doesn't want to make an un-wanted move, and clever marketing scheme which involves describing any potential competition as "focusing on graphics, not gameplay".
In reality, Nintendo is focusing completely on non-gamers to make money in the console business, while targeting "core-gamers" in the handheld business. They do not "love" their fans. They want to make the system appealing and attractive to those who wouldn't normally play video games, thus, the die-hard fans will find a severe lack of fun to be found. Any dispute about this is not valid, as only a handful of people outside of Nintendo themselves has played it.

Iwata: "It's designed like a TV remote because that's familiar to everyone including those who are intimidated by a two-handed controller. Its intuitive form allows both experienced and new gamers to stand on the same starting line."
Translation: Screw you hard-core gamers! We don't need you; we're targeting a larger audience! Our Nintendo Revolution controller will be simple and inviting for those who don't play games often. Go give us your money through our numerous hand-helds!
