@Laoldar,I see what your saying, but I was actually thinking of the Panasonic Q, as opposed to Nintendo, when writing this. The Wii has sold much better then the Gamecube, too date, so perhaps a 'beefed up' version of the hardware would succeed where the Panasonic Q failed? In fairness I think there is little chance of seeing Nintendo trying this idea again, but its not impossible either.
