Nintendo is marketing is console at gamers... which is why the GC will fail.

X-Box and PS are both squarly aimed primarily at the middle market...

This is the market where the cash is... though no-one single middle market games-player will ever buy as many games as a single hobbyist gamer...

The number of middle market players is where the money is...

And given the cost of producing a console, and titles capible of competing in todays market the Nintendo wont have enough buyers cash to make this possible...

There may be one more full size console left in Nintendo... but its future is left only as a handheld machine...

(at least until Sony & Microsoft dicede to attak the market)

Now that's got to be wrong, because the GameCube is a games based machine they can't go wrong with something running only games only them!
If we added a hard drive or DVD player it would just add more to the price.
For someone like you wouldn't you rather buy that then one with a DVD player? I'm not dissing the PS2 but it's not right.
