Don't compare WiiU and GameCube

People say Mario Sunshine, Zelda: Windwaker, Smash Brothers, Luigi's Mansion, Pikmin, Metroid Prime and MarioKart DD couldn't sell Gamecube and they were amazing games.  I'm sorry, but they aren't.  Well, they may be great games, but I wouldn't know, because I didn't play them and didn't want to. I bought a PS2 instead.  And an XBox.  Mario Sunshine was a dorky name for a game with Mario using a watergun on vacation.  Zelda was a cartoon.  Metroid Prime may be amazing, but to me it looked weak and boring compared to Halo.

Well, that sums up pretty well what's wrong with your arguments.

How so?  I'm saying whether or not the GC games were good, I didn't want to play them because their theme sucked and the system looked like a purple candy box.  People say GC didn't sell in spite of great games, I'm saying it didn't sell because it was purple and BECAUSE of games that may have been good but had sucky themes and/or styles.  It's like Infamous.  People say it's great and wonder why people don't buy it more.  I can say that myself, and the masses, are not interested in it's theme of some generic superhero that shoots lighning and chooses between good and bad.  Mario on vacation cleaning stuff? pass.  Mario flying through space jumping from planet to planet bending gravity? Sold!
