Well, here is a place where devoted Nintendo fans can concisely voice their views on what Nintnedo should do - realisticly of course, to improve sales, market profile (i.e in FHM, Mace Griffin is not on Cube, and there are no Cube ads, despite an excellent GBA SP one, and it says 'the millions they have lost on Gamecube' about Ninty) and most importantly dispel the ridiculous anti GC attitude.
I mean, Game Boy has a great name, but both the N64 and now the Cube (to a lesser but still worrying amount) are seen as rubbish.
Outline your proposals here. Petition anyone? Meh.....

Just imagine if Sega had decided to do that with the Mastersystem. We'd still have to look at it every day!
What the Cube lacks is decent marketing, decent release dates and decent third party exclusives.
So, a three step plan to save the Cube:
1) Advertise. A lot.
2) Six Sigma the absurdly slow release gap between JAP/USA/European release dates
3) Get some serious, non-cartoony, "adult/mature" games that people will buy a Cube for.
It's that simple. If I were a director, I would approve funding for any of these without hesitation.

Yes but do we want mature/adult games? I myself being a Nintendo fan, have to say I don't care whether my games are adult or not. When I want adult entertainment I go to the cinema.
A good balance of adult and less adult games would be good.

I'm sure "we nintendo fans" are quite happy with what we're getting from Ninty. However, everyone who owns a PS2 instead o a Cube obviously aren't.

Another point to make would be to get some more games online and get an online system flowing properly. One game online after four months of the console having online capabilities is horrendous.
Quite why Nintendo haven't already thought of this is beyond me. Likewise for the points you made.
