Lol, I don't know who hates me more for this thread. Sony fans who want to say Wii U is the next Gamecube or Nintendo fans who want to say there was nothing wrong with Gamecube. LMAO!

Hasn't it occured to you yet that you are simply wrong and no personal bias of other users can affect that? I think it speaks volumes.

Absolutely not.  Not a single person has made a letitimate argument to say that Wii U is anything like Gamecube.  Nintendo fans have said gamecube is great and it's games were great and I"m mean and shallow.  Sony fans have said Wii U sucks and it's not going to sell and it's a flawed system.  But no one has shown that Wii U's philosophy or it's exclusive games are like Gamecube's games.  The systems, the launch situation, the strategy, everything about the systems are polar oposites.  The results may or may not be the same, but the systems are completely different from each other, and no one has shown otherwise.  They have just bashed Wii U and it's chances or bashed my shallow view on gamecube.

Some of the posts on this thread from both sides are quite rational and spark good discussion.  Others, like your's, are just blinded by fandom and add no value at all.

We have, it's just that you refuse to accept them. GCN wasn't cool, it had the best hardware for the core gamer, but looked like a toy and had games looking a bit childish on the surface - nobody was excited about it. Wii U isn't cool either, it's hardware is a joke and no core gamer is excited about it, which is a huge problem, considering the casuals are done with home consoles for now. It's the same story. Nintendo has no target audience with either console. Everyone knows who will be buying PS4, who will be buying X720. But who is the target of the Wii U? Nobody really. The only people who are going to buy it are the Nintendo faithful, just like it was with GCN.
