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.

Yes, but on PS2 Colin McRae reached No.1, so did TOCA Race Driver, and Indy Race League is up there. I just think it's to do with who they regard as the Game Cubes audience, and not people who like racing games. Or summit.

Colin McRae 3 wasn't released on Cube in the end.
And Psycho Fox is a fool.
