Is the Wii U actually a Gamecube?

I know. That title sounds crazy. But just think about it. I'm not saying it's the same console but, when you compare Gamecube and the Wii U there are a few similarities between the two.  Firstly and obviously, they are Nintendo consoles. But when you look at their launches and life cycles, you can see closer connections between the two. Although it's not the end of the Wii U's life cycle, it's not being sold by the bucketload much like the Gamecube, which sadly suffered poor sales figures for its entire lifecycle . Another similarity between the two is the fact that they are both underappreciated and under-rated. The Gamecube had some amazing games and the despite what people think, it was very powerful too.

It was just full of tech demos and cutscenes . Then they tried to say all of the games will look that during gameplay, then at E3. They just didn't. But what annoys me the most is the fan response to this stuff. They always blow things out of proportion.  There are so many games I have played on PS3 that people said were aesthetically amazing, only to find the game was boring and wasn't actually that good in my opinion. Once such game was Heavenly Sword, everyone said it looked amazing, which it did. But. The game was so boring!! I just think people should stop saying games are good because they appear to be good. Actually play the...
