How I see it is pretty clear. The generation of Saturn, N64 and PS1 showed that power doesn't necessarily mean greater sales. The PS1 won that console war, even though the N64 was far superior.
The current generation, the PS2/GC/XBX systems, shows that the PS2 has won. It had the lowest of the 3 in terms of internal specifications, but it still won. It had a large amount of developers who could easily make games for it, because it was versatile to the developers and their projects.
The Gamecube had superior graphics, but ultimately it didn't have enough attention. No developers means the console's only living off first-party titles, in this case Nintendo. The Gamecube did this for awhile.
The Wii has the lowest specifications in the next generation consoles, so it only makes sense that it's going to be more approachable by developers. Which means sales, which means winning the console war.
History always repeats itself.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
