Nintendo made some mistakes with N64 but if Nintendo wants to win the next console war, they need to change the following things.
1.) They need to have better relationships with third parties. They need to do what ever it takes, even if that means them begging on there knees for some developers. If they can get Square, Konami, and Namco, I think Nintendo won't end up last.
2.) Nintendo has a tendency for bringing there console out last. Nintendo may lose a few customers if they release it after X-Box. After all, the X-Box does have better specs.
3.) There weren't many launch games for the N64. Game cube should have atleast ten titles, if not more.
4.) Nintendo needs to get rid of there kiddy image. Although every Nintendo fan knows they make many "mature" games, Sony loyalists don't. Until they find out, they won't be purchasing a Nintendo product. As much as I like Pokemon(sarcasm), they have to go. Nintendo had a real chance to make a franchise that would last. If only they didn't put cute Pokemon in. The show and its morals scare me, and about every one else that is older than 13. It may have been used to help during there unsuccessfull N64 days, but it assured many gamers that Nintendo is cutesy.
Nintendo's future looks bright, but Nintendo needs to change some things. If Nintendo doesn't change 2 out of these 4 things, they will very likely end up second or third in the console wars. I believe that nintendo will pull this off. Also the prices of the games should be taken down but I think this will happen considering they have scrapped the whole idea of cartridge.

Does anyone know when E3 is? I can't wait too much longer.
"1.) They need to have better relationships with third parties. They need to do what ever it takes, even if that means them begging on there knees for some developers. If they can get Square, Konami, and Namco, I think Nintendo won't end up last."
Yup, Nintendo should be able to do this, after the dev kits being sent out, and all the other stuff, which I forget.
"2.) Nintendo has a tendency for bringing there console out last. Nintendo may lose a few customers if they release it after X-Box. After all, the X-Box does have better specs."
Firstly, yup, the Gamecube will be before the X-Box. Secondly, the GCN is just as fast as the X-Box, there's not much difference, and it even may be faster now, thanks to the degradement announcment the other day.
"3.) There weren't many launch games for the N64. Game cube should have atleast ten titles, if not more."
I can assure you, there will be.

The main problem lies here. Nothing wrong with childish games, a lot of them are great fun. But to win people, they have to go.
By the way, the discs will be cheaper, because the license fees are cheaper.
