Don't you mean the opposite of that?

No, I honestly can't. I mean it has been doing worse so far and it was launched a year ahead of the competition rather than a year behind.

But look at the number of high quality 1st/3rd party exclusives each console had at this point.

Wii U-NSMBU, Nintendo Land, ZombiU, Lego City

Gamecube-Luigi's Mansion, Wave Race, Smash Bros, Rogue Squadron, Super Monkey Ball, Resident Evil, Pikmin, Mario Sunshine(might be wrong on this one)

Also GC was $200 compared to XB/PS2 at $300, Wii U is $300-350 compared to PS360 at $200-300.

Once Wii U big exclusives come out and its no longer the most expensive, it will sell much better than it currently is.

But if these games didn't make the Gamecube a great seller why will they make the Wii U better than Gamecube? Obviously more games means it will sell better, but why assume it will sell better than Gamecube?

Also out of all the games they both had by this point, NSMBU is from the best selling series by far. The only thing bigger Nintendo has is Mario Kart, and Gamecube didn't get that for a while.
