Can people please stop comparing these systems. In particular, I'm tired of the statement that Gamecube had lots of awesome games and didn't sell well, so how are games going to help WiiU. The systems are nothing alike.
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.
Now, when I saw Super Mario Galaxy, Zelda: TP and Wii Sports, I was sold on a Wii in an instant. The realistic, epic-looking Zelda and the mind-blowing Mario Galaxy were spectacular. Throw in New Super Mario Bros Wii for good measure and you have some serious 1st party titles that appeal to me and a lot of other people.
