WiiU will sell better than Gamecube.

If I were a business man, coming off the success in the home console market with the Wii, I would not in turn then emulate my most failed console ever. I would not confuse or try to fuse handheld and home console markets. I would keep them seperate. So I'd have to disagree with your summation on that. 

Yes, games are what sell consoles..But the question then become what games? Gamecube+ games will not. As they did not in the past.

We will just have to agree to disagree on this one Happy. 

@Bold is where you are deeply mistaken. The U takes almost no cues from the cube, but largely emulates the 3DS in terms of software.

In terms of hardware, you can't possibly be equating the U to the cube, so I'll just ignore that. Having said that, instead of mimicking the Wii, which sold 90m units, Nintendo opted to mimic the DS (in terms of hardware), which yielded 150m units sold.

Tell me how that's a losing strategy.

LoL @ Pic. But as I've said, having a home console mimmick a handheld has shown to be as disatrous as a handheld trying to mimmick a home console (Vita) lol. If said strategy was so wise Wii U wouldn't be struggling as it is.
