Oh god, not this hack again.

Also, GameCube got all of those games except for FIFA and still sold worse than everything else that gen. Wii missed a ton of those things and outsold PS3 and 360. The answer is nowhere near as simple as he likes to try and make things.

It sold better than the Wii U tho.

That's a bit of a short-sighted rebuttal. There were a lot of other things that were different back in the early 2000s and the market as a whole was bigger.

In terms of market share, the GameCube is still Nintendo's least successful console, accounting for not much more than 10% of home console sales. Wii U may eventually replace it, but at the moment its market share is still somewhere close to double that.
