The Wii U will outsell the GC with just America

Im not so sure Nintendos franchises have grown that much look at NSMB on 3DS and Wii U, both are going to be down massively compared to last gen. Also Mario 3D World, its tracking behind every other 3D Mario game, even Sunshine which only sold 6.3m and released when GC had a similar install base to Wii U. Pikmin 3 doesnt look like it will sell better than the previous installments. Donkey Kong/Zelda/Metroid/Kirby all stayed relatively the same as the N64/GC era.

Do u have any examples other than Mario Kart 7 that shows Nintendo games growing?

I do, we have to realize that Mario really is the exception because it's currently over-saturated as a franchise.

Fire emblem on 3DS is doing much better so far. Small numbers, but the relative growth is what counts.

Animal Crossing is doing much better than the gamecube days

Smash is another example, the best-selling version was on the Wii sold almost double what sold for melee.

Twilight princess is another, which sold nearly as much as OoT despite the cube version, and outsold WW by almost 2 times.

I think that's enough to be honest.

Fire Emblem as a series is doing better because Ninty got smart and started releasing it in more places. It wasnt that long ago it was strictly Japan only

Animal Crossing is blowing up. 

Smash, lets not count our chickens before they hatch. i fully expect the Wii U one to NOT match Wii sales one. Then it cant be used.

TP nearly doesnt cut it. and you ignore SS which sold less, if anything we can say its on the decline. IMHO i dont see the Wii U one matching TP sales either. maybe Cube version by itself.
