Yeah, and then right after that, the Wii was basically just a GameCube with motion controls. And the video quality is slightly lower from what I read, so it's technically inferior, but it also has a proper DVD drive, so the games can be bigger.

But then that sold too well and Nintendo decided "fuck making good consoles, let's just make gimmicky bullshit" and they have been bad ever since. Though the GameCube already had the gimmick of being a cube. Looks very cool, though, not gonna lie. One of the best-looking consoles ever made if you ask me. Also came in so many colors, because colors were a thing back in the day, unlike today.
