Do you still think WiiU can outsell Gamecube? (US: Second January, GC: 81k Vs WiiU: 49k)

GC could have sold more than 21M, same for Wii U, it will surely do much less in the same time but could do much more if they keep it alive longer than GC

Really? How? It was cut to $99 pretty quickly. That's pretty much the biggest thing they could do ....

Since when did Nintendo (this last decade or so) support systems for more than 5 years? And WiiU isn't doing well as it is ... if it's doing 49k this January, what is it going to be doing in 2 januarys from now???

It's unrelistic to expect WiiU to be selling in 2017.

I can say the same with the PS4 and Xbox One with that logic.

No you can't. Gamecube got killed early, Xbox did because of reasons (Nvidia dispute ect), PS2 kept going. Wii died the fastest, PS360 are still going. Nintendo just don't sell systems for a long time these days.

I mean, PS360 had 8 year+ lifespans selling 5m+, you really expect PS4 and XB1 to only have 4 succesful year?

My point is that you can't say for sure what will happen in a substantial amount of time. Nintendo could go hardcore support this generation and Sony does not because they are in financial trouble.
