Kwaad you missed the point. Wii is selling much better than Gamecube. Gamecube had a great 6 month launch - but Wii is having an amazing 6 month launch (Gamecube essentially sold ~20% of it's lifetime sales (60 months?) after it was out for 6 months in each region, instead of in a year...) Wii is pacing well above the Nintendo 64 launch too, which was launched with a game comparably revolutionary to Wii Sports (Super Mario 64!). In March 1997, Nintendo 64 was at 6.12 million units. That is more than Wii, but, Nintendo 64 launched in September in USA, and June in Japan - putting the Wii launch way ahead of it. From what I can tell, PS2 is the only system to have a better launch than Wii, and even that is debatable because the launch was staggered, while Wii launched simultaneously in all markets. If Sony had launched worldwide at one time, they would have had more manufacturing issues with launch (although they did anyway because of enormous demand).
