2. Wii U will sell less than the Gamecube: I can't believe anyone actually thinks this, but lets think about this logically. The Wii U managed to sell 4m units in 1 year with terrible first party support, now the Gamecube only managed to sell 21m units...anyone that thinks the Wii U won't easily reach 21m is crazy. Nintendo is releasing a huge lineup of first party games next year and Nintendo tends to save 1 or 2 games to reveal at E3 and release for holiday season, this year will probably be Zelda U or Miyamoto's new IP or both, add those to SSB, MK8, X, Bayonetta 2, Yoshi Yarn, Donkey Kong TF, and SMT x FE anyone that thinks the Wii U will sell less than 10m next year, which is half the total GC sales, is crazy. If it can sell 4m in this year with that terrible support it can easily sell 10m next year with that huge lineup.

Logically you can't make a definitive statement either way. You can say the reason the Wii U isn't selling is bad first-party support in the first year, but you can equally say the GameCube sold poorly despite good first-party support (so the Wii U could suffer the same fate).

The gamecube had terrible first party support. It got the traditional 3D Mario, SSB, and Mario Kart on every Nintendo console but when you look at the other games its easy to see why it didn't sell. The terrible Star Fox games, the gimmicky Donkey Kong games, terrible Wario games, destruction of the Mario Party series with sequel after sequel and multiple Mario Sports games that I think everyone knows don't move systems.

Wait, I thought your argument was that the Wii U has had worse first-party support than the GameCube?

No I said it had terrible first party support and managed to sell 4m, I never said anywhere it had worse first party support than the Gamecube.
