Sounds strange doesn't it, but this is probably what sank the Nintendo 64 boat those years ago. The Nintendo 64 might not be as 'dead' as the Dreamcast, but all excuses aside, the N64 is in it's dying days.
You see when the N64 games were first revealed Nintendo wanted all the spotlight... they had peoples attention, not Konami or Activision! It was all Nintendo, Nintendo, Nintendo...
Thankfully those days are coming to a close and us 'Nintys' can rest assured that Nintendo will offer the same fantastic gameplay through a much better console... and although Nintendo will still want the main focus to be on their games, such as PIKMIN, Luigi's Mansion and Wave Race, they will have to allow the hoards of top games from 3rd party developers to take thier place on the podium.
But Nintendo won't lose all gamer focus. Franchises like Mario and Pokémon will continue to hold thier own. But with other great games being added to the library Nintendo might need to take a bigger bite of that humble pie to realise that gamers want lots of games from all different developers, and as good as they are it won't be JUST the Nintendo franchises that take the Gamecubes of the shelves next spring.
Konami, Activision, EA, You name them... they'll all play a part in the arguably inevitable success of the Gamecube! It's just a good job that Nintendo aren't so bloody stubborn anymore. Someone must have made Yamauchi a very happy man for him to be this 'nice'!
