Maybe an interesting statistic, but not really relevant. Games were a lot more expensive (compared to income levels) the further back you go. When I was a kid, I was lucky if I got one game for Christmas and one for my birthday. By the time the Gamecube came out I was in my 20s and could buy a lot more, but even kids in the 2000s were a lot more spoiled than us 80s/90s kids :)

So I have 40+ Gamecube games, and maybe 10 NES games, of course the attach rate has gone up.

The Wii U is not comparable to the Gamecube. The Gamecube had a huge game library, and most major multiplats came out for the gamecube, and sometimes the gamecube version was even the best version. The Wii U is drier than N64...

So no, Wii U will not reach Gamecube software levels. Wii U is on life support at this point, personally I believe Nintendo has realized it can't be saved and are moving resources to future platforms already.
