Yes, plus, most of what the Cube gets multiconsole-wise is either the dregs of the lineup, (and/or) a game identical on all three systems that will of course sell best on PS2... except sports games, which just don't sell to Nintendo's audience. Like me... I do find some sports games perfectly fun, but haven't bought one in years and years.
OB1... why complain about third-party sales when we get mostly bad games that deserve to sell well or clones that shouldn't sell well when compared to the Cube exclusives that are why people get Cubes? Sure, it limits the market since plenty of morons dislike Nintendo's games (mostly for quite shallow reasons), but I don't care much about them.
Oh, sure, I hope Nintendo can improve third-party wise... but I think they will always sell more exclusives than the others. Nintendo focuses on it, after all... and does a good job. Now, the tricky part will be managing to regain power in the market while keeping Nintendo's quality and values... they probably need to change more than they can to really catch up. But if Nintendo stays behind with consoles as good as the N64 and Cube I'm not exactly too concerned...
