1] The GC could produce much better games tech wise compared to the GBA. People would buy both systems. 3DS & Wii U aren't that different and releasing "upgraded" (questionable) versions of 3DS games will do nothing for the Wii U.
2] The Gamepad hinders the system's selling potential rather than helping it by increasing its price but not value. (In the eyes of consumers it would seem)
3] People still don't know (or care to know ) what a "Wii U" is. Is it a new system, an add on, or an upgraded Wii?
4] The marketing is terrible. They used to have no commercials. This Holiday, I've seen a ton but all of them make me feel like I shouldn't buy one if anything. It's fine that they want to market it to kids & family's but those commercials are in a word, annoying.
With that said, Wii U could still outsell the GC if Nintendo pulls it together. Many people will eventually pick it up when the time is right. It's an extremely small poll but people I know (and myself) would normally have the new Nintendo console by now but don't because of lack of games. We all plan to jump on it when SSB4 arrives.
