No one is saying one is better, or that the Wii U can't sell better, but at the end of the day we can only go on what we know. Everything points to the Wii U selling worse. Honestly anyone who says anything different is just in denial or biased... |
Wii U's more expensive than GCN ever was, it still has a chance not to butcher Nintendo's key brands the way GCN did, and brands such as Smash Bros and Kart have also grown a great deal since the 6th gen. There are many reasons Wii U could sell better.

Reasons that so far have nothing to show for them...

Because those reasons have yet to come into effect; it's still more expensive, doesn't have Smash and Kart, and still has franchises like Zelda ahead of it that they may not fuck up as royally as they did on GCN. But price cuts, Smash, and Kart are coming.

1) It's more expensive because of the useless tablet. Unless they remove it, its price will never drop to the Gamecube's levels.
2) Why would those games do better on Wii U than they did on Gamecube? Mario didn't. Again what do we know?
3) Even if theings turn around to Gamecube levels, it would fail to beat it because right now the Gamecube is DESTROYING it. It would have to start destroying the Gamecube to even catch up with it...
I am not saying the Wii U can't do better, I am saying there is zero evidence that it will, and tons of evidence that it won't. Anyone who says it WILL do better, is delusional.
