Anyone remember the Nintendo powerglove? One of my friends had one, that thing was a pain in the rear. Motion sensing controlers have been more frustration than innovation so far.

That was also, what, 10, 15 years ago? Technology has come a LONG way since then.
You can't harp on a product simply because it came out before its time. Nintendo has always tried to be at the forefront of evolution. Sometimes they succeed, sometimes they fall a little behind (N64), and sometimes, their successes become failures due to poor timing (Virtual Boy, Power Glove).
People cried about the DS, they're crying about the Revolution, and some still complain about the Gamecube. But the DS has finally proven itself, after a year of being out, and the Gamecube has a wealth of games that have that polish and love that most games on Xbox and PS2 simply don't have. SSBM is still one of my favorite games, EVER, and where else can you find the Zelda games but on the Gamecube (with an INCREDIBLE looking one on the horizon!)?
Nintendo will not go the way of Sega, least of all in 3 years. 10 years... well, it's long enough for ANY of the major players to disappear. But 3 years? Never happen.
Now, you wanna talk about failures, why open up that can of worms called "The Phantom"? ;)
