Yeah, there's one thing I think should be taken into consideration...

While Wii sold 600k in its FW, I doubt Gamecube did 300k in the same week, like the Wii did just now.

Not the ideal situation, but well, it's better than nothing. Wii U will suffer a lot being compared to the Wii. Simply no console will do the same as wii during the start, it's almost impossible... the thing really took the world by surprise.

That's the problem. Wii set such a high standard that it was pretty much impossible for the wii u to replicate.

Instead of looking back I am more interested in looking forward to how the nextbox and nextPS compare to the wii u first couple of months.
