Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Wii U is in it's 3rd calendar year, so compare GC in 2003 when it was selling almost double the Wii U's estimate for 2014.

GC peaked in 2003.

In 2004 GC started to decline, as PS2 was dominant and developers stopped supporting GC as much.

We don't yet know if Wii U will be similar, but there's little reason to be optimistic right now.

We forbid you because shipping is different from sold.

The Wii U was doomed the moment people started comparing it to the GameCube.

Gamecube end of June 2003-9.63m

Wii U end of June 2014-6.68m

Gamecube is still ahead by about 3 million. I will give Wii U some slack tho considering its still twice the price of Gamecube at this point in its life so maybe future price cuts and Amiibo success can help it get over Gamecube lifetime sales but its not currently looking good.

When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
