Imagine starting your company from 61.91 million sales on an NES
That same number trickling down on your next console with the SNES at 49.1 million
While Nintendo were still remaining competive their sales were decreasing over time
Enter N64 and you're down all the way to 32.93
On Gamecube you're at 21.74 million
No company should ever want their sales to stagnate like that, and it's crazy to think otherwise.
On top of it all Nintendo have pretty much admitting to making mistakes of the years
Here's an article on it you should read:

Featured in said article here's a piece called 'The Struggles of Marketing the Gamecube'

>Kyle Mercury, a former employee of the company tasked with marketing the GameCube for Nintendo in North Amera, recalls what it was like to work for the company during the GameCube’s struggles. Specifically, he recalls hearing a lot of Nintendo executives fall back on the refrain, “But we’re Nintendo,” when trying to wrap their heads around why the gaming giant was suddenly number three on the marketplace.

>“Pride turned to arrogance. Ugly arrogance. Nintendo started to develop contempt for the gaming community,” said Mercury. “They felt as if they were being betrayed by the gamers they created.”

>According to Mercury, one Nintendo executive said that “Consumers don’t want fun anymore; they just want to kill people… in HD,” when trying to explain why the GameCube was failing. Other company members tried to suggest that the game Geist could become Nintendo’s Halo killer and their best chance at wooing violence seeking gamers with an exclusive title. When told this, Reggie Fils-Aimé said, “Look, don’t bullshit me. How do you guys really think this thing is going to hold up?” Everyone went silent for a moment. When they did speak, they continued to speak in vague rhetoric.
