Why are you worrying?
You seem to forget Nintendo's lack of love for the third party, they have kept close ties with those they see as the "biggest" (EA, Capcom, SEGA, NAMCO) but Codemasters and Acclaim are cutting support for a reason...
They don't sell. And if they can't sell games on a Nintendo console then their games aren't selling the Nintendo console. They're just wasting time and money for everyone.
Nintendo own 4 in house development teams who often develop 2 games at a time, second party houses such as Camelot (developing 4 games), Hal (2 games), Retro Studios (2 games), Silicon Knights(2 games), Intelligent Studios (1 Game), Skip (1 games),, NSTC (1 game) etc... and basically have exclusive third party support from Factor 5 (2 games), Hudson (3-4 games), Treasure (1.5 games), Amusement Vision (3 games), N-trance (1-2games), Capcom studio 4 (5 games)etc...
Nintendo own or basically own more exclusive companies than any of the other three... just because we lose some support from companies that never sold Nintendo consoles in the first place is hardly a heavy loss.
I am upset with Acclaim, they did support Nintendo when everyone deserted them back in the N64 days...
But those days were far worse with only Konami and Acclaim really showing any support...
Look back then... Nintendo survived.
The biggest fear is the PSP... oh yes.

I don't think it sounds like a good idea.
If it uses discs (disks), and it's a portable machine, then you can't just pull the games out and put them in your pocket, you'll have to take cases around with you-hardly portable is it.

If the next generation of handhelds use discs, I shall be buying adaptors (if they don't come with) for the lasers take a lot of power...
The PSP would probably waste at least 4 batteries after about 10 hours of gameplay, whereas the GBA SP has a Lithium Ion battery which gives at least 10 hours and it can be recharged. It can't be that good, the original Playstation only has very crap games out for it now so noone would want to get more games.
What? You're forgetting about Operation Flaspoint or whatever it was called? It sold millions in the US...but console-wise, I see what you mean...

They don't...well not as well as they'd like to, Colin Mcrae Rally was the last big release from them and that sold pretty dismally even though it was a damn good game.
Acclaim have updated what was said in Reuters, saying that they're not totally dropping Cube, it was misquoted and that they're actually revaluating Cube.

The PSP it sounds well crap to me.
I'd hardly say Codemasters don't sell...

Not really... I don't care... I haven't played games in months.
It just seems pointless that so many posts are worrying about the future of the cube because games are being pulled. They are being pulled because they aren't selling...
So it is losing money for Nintendo as well...
I really don't see why everyones moaning.

Dringo you seem to be trying to convince yourself. Get on and enjoy the beauty of the Cube and stop speculating about things which probably won't happen. You can't beat the genius of Nintendo...
