Let us look at yearly GC sales: (By Fiscal Year)
3.8 M (2002) 5.7 M (2003) 5 M (2004) 3.9 M (2005) 2.3 M (2006) 730K (2007) 160K (2008 & discontinued)
GC is currently tracking much higher but I expect Wii U to catch up and have less front-loaded sales. This is because the GC had a much better line-up in its first year. Also, while Wii U is technically around the same price as the GC launch price when adjusted for inflation, the dollar amount is still higher. This allows more room for price drops later. The GC was already $150 early on in the gen. The Wii U is double that as far as dollar amount is concerned. (I'm assuming Europe & Japan are similar)
It's sad but at this point the Wii U line-up is still very poor in terms of big games.
