Publishers DO NOT CARE how much the WiiU sells

GC have sold bad, but have had much multiplatform.

The "kiddie console" stigma and lack of DVD really hurt that platform. 

If NOA had been allowed to design the GameCube instead of the Japanese guys IMO it would have performed better. 

GC console for kiddie?

Lol, ok...

The console was literally designed to look like a lunch box. 

The NES and SNES/SFC at least looked kinda neutral. The GameCube looked like something straight out of Fisher Price's R&D, even though it was charming, it was a horrible miscalculation by Nintendo. Really undid a lot of the progress they made by having things like Metroid Prime and getting Resident Evil exclusive.

The problem too it would be one thing if the kid design actually sold to kids ... but it really didn't. Most kids overwhelmingly wanted a PS2 instead because by the time they get to age 11-12, they've already heard about GTA and want to play that.
