Because when the PS3 was at its absolute worst AND hadn't even launched in EU, yet, it wasn't performing as poorly as the WII U is.  Then you have the fact that the Wii U is now confirmed to be the cheapest entry price for this gen (by $100), but that still isn't peaking much interest from the gaming masses.  I think what we are going to see in the future, in terms of sales, is another N64/Gamecube for Nintendo, with sales ~30M-40M.  Not God awful, but it surely isn't going to be winning the gen.

yeah, we'll see.

NIntendo made the most profit in the GC era btw

Definitely, but they kept their specs low. Remember, DVD's were expensive at that time and Sony made it affordable for the masses to use DVD's. Sony had lesser graphics, but the DVD player increased the cost per console. After Microsoft found out they had a DVD Player in the PS2 they followed suit. Nintendo took zero commercial risk with costs.
