I'd actually wager a guess that it's because there were fewer casual owners, which as a console gets more and more popular you'll probably have a higher percentage of. Maybe. The GCN also interestingly has the highest tie ratio of any Nintendo console. Both those low selling consoles are in a similar bucket...

Anyways I think this whole debate is tired. It depends on what "save the system" means. If it means pushing 2 million more hardware units in the next 18 months than would have sold otherwise, that would be a 150% smashing success for the game in boosting console sales, but without anything else to pick the early momentum from it WiiU would drop from there and still be tracking below GCN.
Basically, it needs more games and it's probably getting more games. We'll find out in a month.
