Going to be a lackluster sales event for the Wii U this holiday. I look at the gamecube in 2003 for the holiday season and they were able to push 3.8 million units with and thats with the gamecube priced at $149, mario kart double dashed released, wind waker and mario party 5 released also. Had full 3rd party support also.

Dont see any of that for 2013.

People keep claiming that GameCube had full third party support, and i keep laughing at that.

Though your other points are more valid. It'll be interesting to see what else Nintendo has up their sleeves.

They did have full third party support.  They had 4 exclusive capcom games (for the time), had full versions of all EA games, released on time, full ubisoft support (even their M rated games), konami with twin snakes...

you cant tell me by looking at their 2003 releases they had partly 3rd party support, they didnt.
