Nintendo have tonnes of exclusive games, don't talk daft. And the fair share of adult stuff too, the Resident Evil franchise, PRoduct Number 03, Eternal Darkness, the upcoming Geist, Advance Wars, Zelda etc... etc...
Gamecube is selling awful Macintosh, but Nintendo can afford to asses that and deal with it.
Look at the hardware sales, if you could see the overall hardware sales worldwide you'd get a clearer picture. Add all consoles, so the DS, the GBA SP and the Gamecube together and you are looking at a much larger amount as Sony. In Japan over the last year Nintendo have sold 3.6 million in systems whilst Sony have sold 2.6 million.
Overall Nintendo actually sell more systems. Nintendo also publish more games so make more money than Sony through Software as well!!!!!
Nintendo always make a massive net profit!
So although the Gamecube is doing badly it'll still be around for the next 2 years and have its ups and downs. And the Revolution will still appear. Nintendo fans need not worry, Nintendo are selling a lot more consoles than their rivals. Gamecube is losing to the PS2, but the overall picture, Nintendo are kicking Microsoft and Sony into submission.
And there is 6 on my list, which isn't including Mario Sunshine.
It's the mario games that sell which is a reason why different genre's featuring the popular character are very popular worldwide.
Put it this way, if Sony could have Mario to their advantage, do you think they would ignore releasing these very same titles? I think not, they sell millions on GC as they would do on any system including the PS2-due to that character's popularity.

I rest my case......There are 4 Mario games in your list!
If Nintendo want to shift more GameCubes, they need more games like the ones on PS2, and much less Mario, and other kiddy games from 15 years ago.
On Nintendo we have Mario Party 4-5-6, Mario Golf, Mario Kart, Mario Tennis, Animal Crossing, F-Zero GX, Metroid Prime 1+2, RE:4 (Till the PS2 Release next Christmas)and Final Fantasy:CC are a few and again quite a few others.
There are a good bunch of exclusives on GC.

Trouble is that GameCube doesnt have enoough exclusive games that people want. If it did, then more people would buy the console.
meh ah well ps2 grafix will look crap.
Exclusive software sells on the Gamecube and Capcom shot themselves in the foot declaring the lack of exclusivity before the Gamecube edition is released.
Putting RE, which is such a big title, only on the console with the smallest user base was always going to be a mistake.
I don't think me and Capcom see eye to eye.
or Sega for that matter.
