It would be nice to see this kept up to date. I'd like to see how many Nintendo game releases it takes to get the Wii U up to the Gamecube.

I had a look, and these seem to be the numbers:

April - 38,000 Diff - 43,935
May - 36,000 Diff - 75,063
June - 42,000 Diff - 171,100

So the Wii U is behind the Gamecube by 701,491 in NA right now.

Thanks for updating the thread btw. Gonna be a long time for the Wii U to catch up looking at it, a 700k and rising margin is not going to be easily erased.

Might need to double check those numbers, as I just Googled around as I wasn't sure where to get official NPD numbers. You're right, it isn't looking too great right now. It would be pretty cool to get it in a graph, or show the other regions as well. Do you know if the Wii U is doing better in the others or worse compared to NA?

I believe it's doing worse in Japan to this point because the GameCube got a reasonable boost in December 2001 from Smash Brothers + spice orange and black GameCube models launching.

Europe ... is harder to say. Probably pretty close to the GameCube if I had to guess.
