Really? Appealing to whom? And more appealing than what's already come out for Wii U. We already have the 2D Mario, and the 3D Mario, and the Mario Kart, and the Donkey Kong, and the Luigi. That suite of games should have already pushed Wii U well past 10 million units, what makes you think all the appealing Nintendo games coming out in the next 18 months will have any greater effect than the games that came out in Wii U's first 18 months? Software sells hardware no doubt, but Nintendo's software does not appeal to a big enough audience, and this is amply demonstrated by the fact that Nintendo released many brilliant games on GC but it still sold poorly. And Nintendo is more or less repeating the suite of games that were the top sellers on GC, and yet people are expecting a different result? The old skool Nintendo franchises were not what sold Wii, it was the Wii Fits, and the Wii Sports, and the Wii Plays that sold the Wii. The old Nintendo franchises merely benefitted immensly from that hugely expanded install base. SMG launched when Wii was already at 14 million. SSBB launched when Wii was over 20 million. MK Wii launched when Wii was over 24 million. NSMB Wii launched when Wii was over 56 million.

Very few people admit when they are wrong.  I honestly give you credit.

Wii. And Wii was selling at a mich higher weekly rate at the 8 month mark. So while PS4 started out much higher than Wii, Wii will soon take the lead on a launch aligned comparison, if it hasn't already. If this generation is going to be bigger than the last then PS4 should be over 10 million by now and selling more strongly than Wii was at this point. PS4 doesn't have the wow factor necessary to carry the 8th generation beyond the 7th generation, and Xb one crippled itself with Kinect and Wii U failed to fire.

Seems a bit premature to me, but whatever...

People do loooove to rub it in your face when you're off in your predictions on this site (or at least they did when I used to frequent it), so it's probably a smart move to come forward and call yourself out (because believe me, others certainly will if you dare to say something they don't like). Even though the makers of this sites THEMSELVES constantly are somewhat off with the sales, certain people here suddenly look down on you and act like like what you say is irrelivent if you make an incorrect sales prediction. Hey, we're only human.

I've always said that Wii U had a ceiling of having SNES like success, at least once we were at a point when we knew a decent amount of information about it, but I've also thought it had a floor of GC-like sales if Nintendo unwisely kept cranking out Gamecube-like games. And now that it seems Nintendo seems content on cranking out these niche style Gamecube games, it's no surprise we're going to get Gamecube-like sales for Wii U.

It's a bummer, because I really believe that the Wii U's library is eventually going to be one of the stronger libraries of Nintendo's console history, certainly better than Gamecube and N64, yet it looks as though it'll end up selling even worse than its biggest dud, the Gamecube. But there are a number of factors that go into that. The reccession is a big one. People just don't have the money to spend on video games like they used to. Market oversaturation is another. There are simply too many consoles out there, moreso than 20 years ago or even 10. And still another is increasing disinterest in video games, as we approach a new hardcore dominated pre-Wii dark age in gaming, of similar-types of games coming out that appeal to a small group of people and/or have been done to death and thus people get bored with them. (See FF series, Monster Hunter, RE, Assassin's Creed, Guitar Hero, Call of Duty, Halo, etc...)

I still believe that Wii U has some gas left in the tank, and with what seems to be a tidal wave of great Wii U games in 2015, Wii U sales will rise to a strong level and MAY help to carry it past Gamecube's milestone of 22 million. But sadly I think it'll fall short of the N64's 33 million.

The only way the Wii U outsells the GC at this point is if Nintendo's Amiibo line really takes off and they milk it for all it's worth over the next few years, because beyond that games like Smash and Zelda alone won't be enough to push the Wii U past 20 mil units.

Vgc done a GC v wiiu sales chart yet?

Everyone has a biased that will cloud their judgement so you far from alone. Having a bias is just part of being human so don't be so hard on yourself. 

Why now you hate Nintendo so much? What did he do to you?

LTD the Wii U will sell around 75 Mil units.
