This line of logic doesn't always work this way though. 

For example I remember everyone saying there's no way the GameCube could sell less than the N64, it had addressed the major problem of the N64 which was cartridges, was easy to program for (another big problem of the N64), had Resident Evil exclusivity and lots of other developer support ... and yet it ended up selling way less than the N64. 

Ditto for the Dreamcast, which in the end didn't sell much better than the Saturn despite being a much better system. 

No Nintendo console will have to come from further behind than the NX will. 

Yes, and GC actually was quite good console, but for GC problem was best selling console in world, PS2. But after GC we had best seling Nintendo console ever.

But Wii U was bloody mess in every possible way, you can't compare any Nintendo console in number of mistakes Nintendo made with Wii U, thats why Wii U will be worst selling Nintendo console.

Like I wrote, I think it nearly impossible to repeat all mistakes Nintendo made with Wii U again, especially because after terrible Wii U sales with NX they will much better job in order to have much better sales. When we talk about NX sales, IMO only certain thing is that X will have much better sales than Wii U.

What I'm saying is just becasue you fix mistakes doesn't neccessarily mean you are rewarded with better sales. 

The PS2 was only about 20 million ahead of the GameCube and GameCube was even with the XBox at 0 when the GameCube launched, console NX will be probably more like 50-60 million behind the PS4 and 25-30 million behind the XBox One. 

So in that way it's a worse position than the GameCube was in a pretty significant way.
