The Wii U is inevitably going to be compared to other disappointing game consoles (sales-wise, I am not talking about quality). One question I wonder is if the Wii U is more like the Saturn or more like the Dreamcast. It definitely has strong similarities to both platforms
The Wii U's ultimate legacy is that it will be the worst-selling Nintendo home console of all-time. There is no way it can catch up the GameCube's 21.74 million units.
