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.


No. I'm saying that it had exclusives, and potential system sellers, such as the ones I listed. Let's ignore RE4, but the rest of the list stand still. Those games I've listed aren't goofies not cartoony (Perhaps Symphonia, but it was such an amazing, mature game that it has to be there). My point is, Gamecube "failed" because of marketing, not 1st party games or support. It is an underrated console. WiiU is failing because marketing. The same reason.
