Nintendo's hardware is shit and they're getting by on sad nerds with dreams of swinging real swords. Sorry.

Nintendo came out with a control device in this latest generation that has great potential and that is nothing near "shit." Microsoft and Sony are scrambling to copy it. Not to mention, the Wii is a solid system with respect to it's non-3D-rendering capabilities (quality components and all of that). One of the biggest problems is the way Nintendo has crippled the use of the Wii's potential with limited "channels" and sheer bullshit like that (it's one of the key reasons I never purchased a Wii). The homebrew mods people are doing with the Wii are pretty sweet and show how serious of a console it could have been had Nintendo not been idiots.

Otherwise, the Wii aside, I was mostly referring to the Gamecube as a great piece of hardware. It was an awesome litle device for its time (for the price). If you want to call that shit then you don't know what you're talking about and you don't know hardware.
