Great hardware? Only when in comparison to the N64 and PSX... when compared to most anything else, no way. That just goes to prove even more how they were lucky to hit the market at the right time...
Oh, and Sega did the 'popular cool' thing years earlier to great success, so it was hardly an innovative idea. They just succeeded better than Sega at it, over a longer period of time.
But yes, public perception of the Cube definitely hurts it a lot. I don't know what Nintendo can do... 'mature' games certainly don't help as we learned on the Cube. I guess they shouldn't make it purple and look like a toy... that's about all I can think of.
