IMO, it will do worse than the GC. Unlike the Wii U, the GC was actually a next gen console. The gamecube was a much better system and sold more during its first year. The Wii u imo is no better than the apple p!ppin and I think it will be nintendo's lowest selling console and maybe their last.

p.s. the virtual boy isn't really a console

Most likely, which is sad. But there are several questionable design decisions that made it into the odd man out.

First the WiiU is a next gen console. Second it is the low sales of the GC that brought Nintendo to their current strategy. The GC was graphically superior to the PS2, and what did it get them? Some great games, no doubt, a cult following, and low sales numbers. That being said, they need to make a decision as to what their identity in the gaming business is going to be. If you want the gamers crowd, they have to compete with Sony and MS technically. They don't have to be the most powerful, as MS will show this gen, just be in the same ballpark in order to get the 3rd party support. Or be a very childrens friendly, niche games console that mom and dad can count on for very young kids. I say very young because 8 and up are wanting COD these days.

Yeah, it seems very likely. It's selling so incredibly poorly.

They just made so many bad design choices, and policies, and then coupled that with terrible marketing.

I bet it'd sell better by just simply having a name other than Wii U. What an awful name. They made the same mistake with the 3DS. Only difference is they were able to lower the 3DS price down to nearly the same price as the DS, so it became the obvious choice to buy. They can't lower the Wii U's price down to $150, and make it the obvious choice to buy.
