Gamecube had Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart Still sold poorly. Nintendo is just back to baseline that's all, Wii Fad fade, now its back to where the sales should be.

Gamecube also launched a year after the PS2 had a commanding lead (a year and a half later in Japan) and directly against the Xbox, it was not the successor of a hugely successful console and it had nothing to differentiate it from the competition.  Not the same situation.

Yah, it's a Better situation, it launching before the two and still did poorly.

WiiU will not run with the PS4 and Nextbox; it is competing for the same market as the PS3/360.

Using the Gamecube as an example of how WiiU's future will be is erroneous because the circumstances are different.

And we have no idea how the new consoles will be doing at this stage in their lives. The affordable PS3 and 360 and their robust libraries are tough competition right now for any new, more expensive console, and this could prove true for their successors as well early on.
