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.) 

As you seem to like no sports, you're bundling them into one category, but it's not 47 of one game, it's yearly releases in a variety of sports.
