. The Wii would have killed to have the library the GC had....

I'd say it's the other way around.

Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 kill Sunshine, Mario Kart Wii beats Double Dash, Twilight Princess Wii and Skyward Sword top GC Twilight Princess and Wind Waker, Donkey Kong Country Returns kills Jungle Beat, GCN doesn't even have a 2D Mario...

And that's pretty much the entire Wii lineup worth owning.  GC also had Pikmin 1 + 2, SSBM, Rogue Squadron 2+3, RE remake 0 and 4, Prime 1 + 2, F-Zero GX, Eternal Darkness, Paper Mario: TTYD, Starfox Adventures, and a bevy of major 3rd party games compared to its predecessor and successor.

The overall quality of the GC's software lineup was much greater than the Wii's... especially when you consider the fact that since the end of 2008, the Wii has had only a handful of AAA games released for it... NSMB, DKCR, Zelda SS, and Xenoblade if you want to throw that in too.

The Wii's got superior versions of Prime 1 and 2 in trilogy, as well as RE4, plus Xenoblade, Monster Hunter Tri, Sin & Punishment 2, Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Rayman Origins, Goldeneye 007, Okami, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, Kirby's Epic Yarn,  No More Heroes 1 & 2,  Red Steel 2, Project Zero 2, The Last Story, Pandora's Tower, Little King's Story, Wii Sports Resort... significantly better library than GC overall. GC enjoyed more mainstream third party support, (though less quirky unique stuff) but its inferior 1st party  content lets it down.
