The GameCube is discontinued and this combined with sequels to its most popular games have been released for the Wii. A new Mario, a new Zelda, a new Mario Party, a new Metroid, a new Super Smash Bros, a new Paper Mario, etc. Why wouldn't GameCube fans want to upgrade, what's stopping them? Price? Waiting for Mario Kart? |
Being that the Wii has outsold the Gamecube, games have outsold their Gamecube counterparts lifetime sales in 6 months, they system is still selling at 4 times the rate the Gamecube did and is supply limited all implies that the Wii is selling to a (much) larger audience than the Gamecube did.
Certainly, the (roughly) 5 Million die-hard Nintendo fans have all (probably) bought a Wii but I see little reason to believe that all (or even most) of the 15+ Million Gamecube owners who do not fall into this category have bought a Wii yet.
