I think that Nintendo's strategy with the Wii U was completely wrong. The name, the price, the hardware, the release date, everything. The announcement of the system at 2011 didn't cause as much excitement/publicity as the PS4 and Xbox One announcements.
And why do people buy Nintendo systems? To play their great first-party games. In my opinion, the GameCube's lackluster sales could be better if there were more Nintendo games for it. We had only one Mario and one Zelda (Twilight Princess only came out in 2006), both of which divided opinions. The Wii U is definitely looking better, so it should outsell the GameCube.
That being said, I don't think the announced games are THAT great. Not to say they look bad, quite the opposite (I wish I could play SM3D World and DKC Tropical Freeze), but it doesn't seem enough for the system yet. I'm not sure if Wind Waker HD is gonna do anything, sales-wise. A brand new Zelda would do wonders to the system though, I think.
