From my experience fans of any console will always defend it no matter how horribly it sells. People saying the Vita (and to some extend the Wii U) just need more time are just kidding themselves - both consoles are selling below Gamecube level.

The WiiU isn't selling below GameCube level at all, where do you get this crap from? Also, it seems silly to bash every console selling poorly, but I guess some people like being silly...

It's the truth. the Gamecube sold 5m units a year for the first few years on the market. The Vita sold, what, 3.5m in 2012? And the Wii U's weekly sales are below the Vita's sales pace right now (I know the launch itself was stronger but current sales are below Gamecube level - this site once had a weekly sales graph for 6th gen consoles and the Gamecube did like 50k a week in normal weeks. Your account is from 2007 so you probably knew about that tool). I don't expect the Wii U to end up at 5m units this year, btw. But current sales are really that bad. Also, I guess "bashing" was the wrong word lol. I like being realistic. When people say it's all flowers and fairies I want to go against that notion. The Wii U, Vita and 3DS are all selling way below expectations right now. Totally silly behaviour, I know...
