Speaking for myself, the Nintendo stuff has always been secondary. When I bought the GC and Wii, I was thinking more about third-party stuff than Nintendo. With the GC (purchased early 2003), there were some great Sega games on it, and I was super excited about the then-upcoming Capcom 5. With the Wii (bought at launch), I was more interested in Red Steel, Rayman, Monkey Ball, Trauma Center, and Elebits, than Zelda, which I could've gotten on Gamecube (and in hindsight wish I had), or Excite Truck, which is good but not that exciting. To this day, when I think of my favorite games for both systems, or look at my collections, third-party far outweighs first.
