Will the NX outsell the WiiU?

That isn't really what drove Wii sales though. 

GameCube arguably had an equal/better 1st year of Nintendo franchise software vs. the Wii (not counting the Wii casual fare):

Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Mario Sunshine, Metroid Prime, Luigi's Mansion, Pikmin, Animal Crossing, Star Fox Adventures, Eternal Darkness, Wave Race: Blue Storm, NBA Courtside 2002

vs.

Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Zelda: TP (GCN port), Super Paper Mario, Wario Ware: Smooth Moves, Fire Emblem, Excite Truck, Mario Party, Mario Strikers, Battallion Wars Wii

It's a wash at best, yet Wii had much higher sales.

I think NX must have some really appreciable new element about it. It doesn't have to be some casual chasing gimmick but it needs to be something that clearly differeniates it next to a PS4/XB1/Wii U. But unlike the Wii, they can't gimp the chipset, it needs to be powerful otherwise developers will not support it, it should be at minimum equal to the PS4 and upgradable perhaps to PS4.5 levels.

IMO the Gamecube was the best home console nintendo ever made.

 

Wii was by far the worst (excluding Virtual Boy), too many games ruined with waggle.

 

Also gamecube had Windwaker and the best version of Twilight Princess.

Meanwhile the Wii had.... Skyward Sword...

I would say N64 was probably the worst console. If you can name 10 other games than Mario 64 and OOT then you are probably better than most. 

Meanwhile, I can name 10 games that were considered absolute masterpieces other than Galaxy and Skyward Sword.
