Marketing ? Then you had best hope that because it's doing worse than gamecube. 

Why would I need to hope anything? My life does not depend on the WiiU's success.

Yes, it's a marketing issue. The U will be fine over time as long as Nintendo delivers on Marketing it to the mass market. Given upcoming holiday sales, it will do fine.

Nintendo thought that the issue with gamecube was marketing and plus they both have pretty similar situations so I don't know about you but it looks like a gamecube to me but not just to me but to alot of people.

Gamecube's problem is people thought it was a childrens toy. PS2 looked like a media device, played like one ect. Whats the WiiU look like? A stone slab. They designed it to be the "stage hand" The GamePad is the "center piece" of the living room.That was the design philosphy, that is the reason behind its entire functionality. All NIntendo needs to do is merge their software output to resemble half of the GameCube and half of the Wii era and they got a winner on their hands. So the machine has something for everyone. Right now they're trying to sell more of the machines. Focusing on the family side, this holiday season.

No matter how many awesome "mature" games it got it couldnt shake that image. They put the thing in cabaret clubs, the shoved it at heinneken events, you know, beer. They put a Heineken skin on it to boot. NoA woked their ass of with it. But when people thought of Nintendo what did they think? Smash Brothers and nothing else.

PS2 got the jump on everything else. It had that media trojan horse. Hence it got all the support.
