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.

There's plenty of evidence it will, you're just choosing to ignore it.
1. "WiiU will never drop to Gamecube price" ... seriously? You think Wii U will never hit $199 with the tablet? Manufacturing costs reduce with time.
2. Because those franchises have grown since then.
3. Gamecube was the car with good acceleration but no top speed. Wii U is the car with shitty acceleration but a higher top speed. (Key games arriving later, higher starting price point)

1) I am not talking $199. That was the Gamecube's launch price when it was still getting its ass handed to it. The PS3 and 360 will be $150 soon and eventually $100 within a couple years. The Wii U needs to cost the same or less than them to compete, and considering they are still not profiting off their console I do not see that happening.

2) Feel free to agree to disagree, but I do not see any evidence of "Growth," or at least the kind of growth that would make any difference...
3) I do not see how the Wii U's "Top Speed" is higher. It has far more things working against it than the Gamecube did, and getting the same games eventually is not as good as getting them sooner at a lower price point.
