Judging by his name I think he is a big fan of metroid prime 2 (and probably gamecube) 

OT: I think you are right. Looking at the games for gamecube they always seemed to be the weaker counterpart of something. As you said with metroid and halo, and the art style of zelda. And the consoles design as well. I'm just hoping nintendo have taken notes.

Not saying they weren't good, and yes they did sell well as a percentage of GC owners, but the broader gaming market skipped them and the system.  Only the most core Nintendo fands bought the system and the games.  I consider myself a casual Nintendo fan.  I'll pick up their system (or any system) if it appeals to me but I have low brand-loyalty.  There are a lot of us out there.  We are the people that can take a 7 million selling MarioKart on GC and turn it into a 34 million selling game on Wii.  We like Nintendo's games, but not unconditionally.  The GC was ugli and the games had bad themes so we didn't buy them.  The WiiU is pretty and as far as we know the games will have good themes so we may buy them.  WiiU may bomb, but if it does it's for very different reasons than GC.

I think you're missing the point because you're struggling with reading comprehension in some way. I never said have Kratos jumping through Galaxies.

But yes. A purple, over-powered, games-only focused sytem that has a multi-colored controller with games with very childish themes like Sushine and cartoons, will not sell well to a broad audience.

And I am saying WiiU is nothing like it.  It is black and adult in appearence.  It is multi-media with a mainstream-friendly tablet interface. And if its games are like Wii, they will not have sunshine or cartoons as their theme.  It may or may not sell well, but it will be for different reasons than the Gamecube.

Wii U is GCN 2, no matter how much you want to believe it's otherwise. I have called this after the initial announcement, way before the release and I'm sticking to this.

GCN games were awesome. I bought the biggest titles when I got my Wii and loved them. You can't say a bad thing about games like Metroid 1 and 2, Resident Evil 1 and 0, Eternal Darkness and other big core games, so stop saying that all exclusives were Mario on holiday or cartoon crap. Also don't forget it got the best versions of multiplats!

The problem GCN had is that it tried to be a core console, but failed miserably due to many stupid and avoidable mistakes - just what the Wii U is doing right now.

GCN was the most powerful console of its generation, it had awesome exclusives for the core audience and could be the go-to console for core gamers, but... it looked like a joke. I remember seeing a photo of it in a magazine and after the first glance I knew there was no way in hell I was getting that, no matter what games it had. That is why I only discovered all these awesome games when I bought the Wii (and the GCN catalog was a bigger reason for me to get Wii than the Wii catalog).
Wii U is doing the same thing. It's trying to satisfy the core - it looks good, has some nice core exclusives (Bayo 2, Zelda, Metroid, SSB, Zombi U) they even humiliated themselves by copying the X-box controller to be even more "core-friendly" (why Nintendo, why?). But they don't stand a chance, cause the console is far too weak and closer to current gen than next gen.

To sum up - both consoles have huge flaws, this is why they will share a common fate. Nintendo caught lighning in a bottle with the Wii, but that won't repeat. The casuals have moved on to tablets and smartphones and Nintendo is back to the old N64/GCN level. My bet is Wii U will sell 40-45 million consoles. More than GameCube, since it has a much stronger brand name after the Wii. For example I will be getting a Wii U and I have never had a GCN. But it will never be a success and won't compete with PS4/X720 for the first place in next gen.

Get out of my house

I struggle to imagine a Wii Sports-esque game that will sell WiiU's.

Why? The Gamepad.

With Wii Nintendo identified the dual analog controller as a major culprit that was cutting them off from people who used to play their games. It was too complex. Hence the wiimote. Motion controls were immediately understandable by everyone and brought back people who hadn't played Nintendo games (or any) for many years. Like myself for instance.

However with the WiiU Nintendo has gone back to the very problem they had gotten rid of with Wii. the Dual analog Gamepad. Which is why I call the WiiU the antithesis of the Wii. Instead of making things simplier, they've made the most complex controller ever. It's simply not appealing. Nor is it in any way innovative nor can I imagine any kind of gameplay it'd enhance or create what hasn't been done already (DS/3DS/smartphones/tablets).

If people want a dual analog controller why not get 360/PS3 which are cheaper with more games and also support motion games?

If I want a dual analog with touch screen that can play on TV and travel with me I will soon be able to get a Galaxy S4 for that - which I can stream movies on, program and watch TV, internet, endless games and hey, it's a phone.

WiiU has outdated the day it launched by seven years. 360 could easily have had a touch screen dual analog controller if MS had wanted in 2005. DS had one years before that.

The only thing WiiU has to stand on to differient it are Nintendo games and without a Wii Sports/Wii Fit like hit (which will be neither Wii Sports U or Wii Fit U - it's have to be something new that overcame the hinderence of the gamepad's complexity to the mass market) 40m would be about the max WiiU could be expected to sell.

...o.O

It was on Gamecube too.

...among others.

the sales and releases are disapointing on wii u and i hope it can Do wii numbers at the end of the Generation

The only 1st party title I owned on GC was Mario Kart: Double Dash. I picked up the Prime Trilogy on Wii because of the new controls. And Twilight Princess on Wii was the first Zelda game I played since Ocarina of Time.

I would agree, the 1st party line-up on GC was not nearly as stellar as on Wii. It just had more third-party support with ports but the GC still missed out on the highly popular GTA games, which became the best selling games on PS2.

which wiiU games?  really, which games are you refering to?

pikmin?  ..failed to ignite the gamecube.

mario kart?  ..failed to ignite the gamecube.

3D mario?  ..failed to ignite the gamecube.

monilith soft's game (project x for wiiU)?  ..failed to ignite the gamecube.

oh wait, i know, you are waiting for the "wii" games.  you know, as soon as a 2D mario or a party game collection like nintendo land release!  ..err, wait a sec.  Oh right, wii fit!  ...it's going to follow up with another massive sucess just like the 3DS version of nintendogs!  awww... shit.

there is nothing confused about my second statement.  the wii tanked in the end.  no other generation winner has ever fallen so quickly and so dramatically.  3DS needed a 32% price cut just to stay afloat and is still tracking below the DS with a trajectory to be massively down GenOverGen.  poor wiiU sales is just another piece of evidence that all leads to one ultimate conclusion...

nintendo has no idea what made the wii was a success and they cannot recreate it.

..but i don't expect you to understand that.  afterall, you were the only person on this site that was still adament that wiiU was doing wonderfully and simply supply constraint when everyone else (even the most staunch nintendo fans) we're able to objectively see the evidence even if they didn't like the conclusions it pointed to.
