Wii U is over 4 million behind the GameCube right now, and the fact right now is that gap is getting bigger every month (not smaller). We'll see what happens from here on out, but I think with Mario Kart, 3D Mario, and Smash Brothers already spent ... a miracle ain't happening here. |
I agree that it will be hard. But the new Legend Of Zelda seems to be turning a lot of peoples heads, as well as Xenoblade Chronicles X. They still have some massive games in the pipeline that may not sell in droves as much as Smash or Kart, but will be MORE appealing to gamers (and I think has the potential to push out more consoles as people who own a Wii U buy Kart, but people will buy a console for LOZ). This is where I think they have to potential to sell more systems than the GC. True the GC had Prime (which Metroid is an enigma as not being a major franchise) and Melee (the only game I think that really stands on its own as being a must have game that was hyped as well as stands the test of time), but other games that would later be regarded as gems were met initially with a LOT of hatred. Sunshine and Windwaker anyone? Even Twilight Princess sold massively better on the Wii, due to it being a cross released game. People were just not interested in the GC.
