So as a Brazilian i could not resist but giggle when i stumbled upon the news that Ps4 will cost US 1,800 in Brazil (roughly 4 thousand Real, our currency).

^ It`s a big difference, but in the end, those 35 games will do more for Wii U, than those 109 did for GC.
So many games for a small userbase, means less sales for everyone or for a lot of them. And in that time, it was just PS2 and nothing more.


Why?

Gamecube was at 9.55m shipped end of March 2003, WiiU may be short of that by a 1m~

Because they exist in two different kinds of market.
During the GC era, there was no amount of games that could help GC or Xbox rise to a different plateau.
This time, that dominance of one console does not exist. Things are more balanced.

And one of the things that plagued Wii U was the lack of games.
I could even say that a big part of Wii U`s library of 3rd party games was already on the market before Wii U was released. So, there was little reason to upgrade for a select few, non system sellers, 1st party games.

The upcoming Wii U release schedule has system sellers for the first time in a time where the chances for success are higher now then they were for GC or Xbox, in their time.

I see absoloutely nothing different in upcoming WiiU games to Gamecube games in terms of which audience they target. I'm sure Mario was a system seller to Nintendo fans for the Gamecube too ...

You could have said the same about the PS3 back in the day, and look how it has rebounded once it earned a steady flow of quality games..

Wii U is FAR from finished.

What does the Wii U being finished or not have to do with the fact it's recieved worse software at this point than the GameCube?

The Wii U has no official price yet, but on the grey market it costs around US 690, about half the price of the Ps4.
