Nah, people just didn't want the GCN as they've just been wanting Nintendo consoles less and less barring Wii with it's motion controls. A game can only sell as much as the console allows it to, and Sunshine did great for itself with that in mind, and so will SM3DW and NSMBU. MK8 and SSB4 are also gonna be pulling numbers similar to their GCN counterparts. Afterall you can't possibly expect Mario Kart to do 30+ million again on a console with sub 20 million sales.

One of the biggest factors in what makes people want a console is its software.

Sunshine is part of the reason GCN didn't sell too hot, just as 3D World is part of the reason Wii U isn't selling so hot.

Once again using logic that goes against your belief of MK8 n SSB4 selling Wii U's, as both MK and SSB among many other of nintendo franchises have also seen iterations released on past consoles, yet those consoles still failed to outsell their predecessors. So once again, tell me why Kart n Smash are all of a sudden gonne sell enough consoles now to break the trend when they never ever have before.

This "trend" isn't really a trend at all, because as I've said, each console selling less was not for the same continuous reasons each time. It's a not a trend, it's a serious of individual and different mistakes.
