Of Course that was easier to make games for GC than for Wii U, but that change anything. GC was worst selling Nintendo console till date and Wii U is now worst selling console till date, Wii U will have shorter life than GC so Nintendo needs to support to the end. We had Pikmin on GC, than Nintendo make sequel using same engine, assets and models. Nintendo probably is doing same for Wii U. So that's very similar not very different situation.

GC in 2004 was in a much less desperate position than Wii U will be in 2016. 

There's a significant difference between a system 19 months from replacement and on course to sell 22 million and a system in its final 6 months and on course to sell 14 million.

There also significant difference between system that will be 5 years on market and system that will 4 years on market. Nintendo needs to satisfy owners in that 4 years, and they said they will satisfy them. Pikmin 4 is great opportunity for something like that, big game with not big budget.

And Wii U is not on course to sell 14m, at end of next year it will be around 15m.
