Weren't PS2 and Xbox also much more powerful hardware?
I believe the PS2 hardware was weaker than the GameCube on a technical level, but the Xbox was absolutely way more powerful. Nintendo should have had the home field advantage though, given the popularity of the Nintendo brand. The GameCube should have sold well, especially since it was cheaper than a PS2 or Xbox, but it didn't.
Knowing Nintendo, they're fine with it. They would rather go bankrupt than let people interact with them outside the officially-allowed methods.
