Yes but releasing more slowly hasn't improved Wii U's chances.  Will Wii U ever get more than 10 games over 90% in it's lifetime at this rate?

As for sports, people like them.  They matter to sales.

Back in the GC years there was a big improvement in sports games going from gen 5 to gen 6 with better commentary and richer amount of animations.  These days even when FIFA14 (meta 87) or NBA2K (meta 85) look & sound amazaing, it's just expected.

Everybody likes different games, that's why for sales, a console has to hit a spot with a wide range of players.


Again read the original quote. It was about whether or not the Wii U deserves to outsell the Gamecube from a gamer perspective. My recent point was that more than half of the games scored over 80% were of one genre (sports games.) That shows even less variety than the Wii U's, which is a common argument used against the Wii U ( a lack of game variety.) I personally see the GC and Wii U in the same boat. My initial confusion was with the newfound nostalgia the GC has been getting as some sort of excellent console, and that the Wii U doesn't deserve to match it. Back then, the Gamecube was the console with the least third party support (like the Wii U) and the least variety (like the Wii U.)
