I've already called it some time ago and now I'm going to repeat it. Wii U will become a Gamecube 2. The casuals will pretty much ignore the console, since now it has a massive competition. 3rd parties will struggle as usual on a Nintendo console, we'll see if they leave it totally like the Wii, or if the sales will justify cheap downscaled ports. First party games will sell awesome, so Nintendo will be gaining money on the whole project.

Wii U = Gamecube 2

Its sales so far point to no, you are way off the mark.

Gamecube sold 400k in its european launch and wii u did way less, you are correct.

I think I remember GC selling something like 600k in its NA launch. If that is correct, then you are once again absolutely correct. If someone knows a link with more accurate information, feel free to correct me.

Wii U is doing way worse than GC.
