Does anyone know something about the games which have been released for the Gamecube after this time period?


At this time at least SSBMelee, Prime, Wind Waker, REmake, Sunshine. Next january RE4.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Comparing Gamecube and Wii U is unfair, GC got price cut. A 50$ one so from 200 to 150 and gc has melee from launch....



I actually didn't realize Gamecube sold that well. I didn't even know anyone who had one.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

I don't see the point of constantly having these threads... kind of like. "Oh hay, did you know the Wii U isnt selling well, lets compare". It is stupid and childish to post these threads, not to mention they are click bait for trolls.

It's VGC; we look at and compare current and past sales regulartly.  This kind of "I don't see the point" posts are useless.


I assume there is 80 other threads that do the exact same thing. What makes this one so different from others? 

There's 100 posts talking about how sh*t Wii U is selling, but not that many with nicely assembled graphs like this and no opinions.  We could say the same about almost any topic... like there's also more threads talking about Mario Kart 8 than ZyroX has subscibers (j/k).

Those sales weren't that great, they just look good when compared to the Wii U. 

As someone who remembers the GCN era vividly a lot of people were panicking over those level of sales back then.

Nintendo wanted to sell 50 million GameCubes by spring 2005:

The Wii U can do a lot better. But you can't really judge by a slow start. That's like comparing the PS1 vs PS2 vs PS3 or PSP vs PS Go vs PS Vita.



If anyone has the math skill to do it, a graph showing the performance of all consoles across generations and factoring out the general decline of the console market would be most interesting.

Yeah, the sales still are terrible, but I thought they were no more than 2-3 million as I didn't know a single person in real life that owned one.

Wii U is officially doomed. Can't even pull GCN numbers, what a tragedy.



...Let the Sony Domination continue with the PS4...

The neg-threads are really working against Nintendo in the "forum-goer" space, and really need to stop. I hope people start re-evaluating their choice in Nintendo topics soon...

If you're going to post on a sales forum then don't complain about sales threads. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!
