Don't compare WiiU and GameCube

I think you're missing the point because you're struggling with reading comprehension in some way. I never said have Kratos jumping through Galaxies.

But yes. A purple, over-powered, games-only focused sytem that has a multi-colored controller with games with very childish themes like Sushine and cartoons, will not sell well to a broad audience.

And I am saying WiiU is nothing like it.  It is black and adult in appearence.  It is multi-media with a mainstream-friendly tablet interface. And if its games are like Wii, they will not have sunshine or cartoons as their theme.  It may or may not sell well, but it will be for different reasons than the Gamecube.

...o.O

 

It was on Gamecube too.

 

...among others.

So you're saying it didn't have any exclusive major system sellers then?  The only game that come close to that level on your list are RE:4, but that was announced for PS2 before it was released on GC.  TP was out on Wii before it was on GC, so are you seriously saying that was a major title for GC?  Come on!  The gen was already over.

Some people say when big, exlusive 1st party games hit Wii U, sales will improve.  People argue that by saying it didn't work for Gamecube.  The point is, the GC versions of Nintendo's main franchises were odd titles, not the usual major epics people expect.  And the Gamecube was a late-launching purple box that didn't play media like its competitors but only child-size discs.  WiiU and GC are very different systems.  They may end up with the same sales, but it will be for different reasons if they do.
