I think GCN will come in third this generation.. but it's not because of Nintendo being ignorant, it''s because they won't stop making hardware. Compared to M$ and Sony, Nintendo doesn't even have enough money to keep making consoles. They have enough fan backing to make consoles, but as we see, that is fading more and more with each generation.
If they can't beat two higher priced competitors in sales with such strong 1st party support (which I feel they lost with Rare), Easy development, and about a 15 Year experience lead... how on earth will they return to greatness in the future?
They better latch on to sombody before it's too late and they find themselves flopping out of controll like Sega. They better sell thier worth now before they become worthless.
I for one hope Nintendo is bought out by M$... let Ms handle the hardware, and Nintendo (along with M$'s A-List of 2nd parties) could just handle the software.
