Sounds like Wii U numbers might be above 460k which wouldn't be as bad as thought, though not exactly something to throw a party over either (GameCube did better than that basically in every December it had). |
Gamecube also had Zelda/Metroid/Mario/Luigis Mansion/Pikmin/Smash Bros/Mario Kart/Starfox and a bunch of other great games in the 1st 18 months. The numbers the Wii U is putting out considering there is only 1 or 2 console sellers (SM3DW and NSMBU) for the 1st 14 months is actually not that bad. Wii U should be killing Gamecubes numbers next December unless Smash Bros gets delayed.

Hope springs eternal. GameCube had $99 and Mario Kart its third Christmas, Wii U ain't matching that.
Wii Party U, Wii Sports Club, and Pikmin 3 are on the Wii U too and Zelda was not out on the GCN at this point outside of Japan, nor was StarFox.

We will just have to wait and see. The Gamecube sold 7 million copies each of Smash Bros and Mario Kart, and without those 2 the console may have sold unless 10 million. Wii U is at 5.3 million without either already. I'm not saying Wii U will outsell PS4 or anything, but I think it is going to end up with N64 number, not gamecube numbers.
