Gamecube literally only got to where it was because of melee. I don't consider gamecube a failure because it brought us the best controller ever designed so far. Nintendo does not see or show their recognition of that aspect of their products despite controller designs and functions being what they've been focusing on and changing for the past 4 generations, while sony and microsoft do the exact opposite. I don't really see how it's possible for the wii u to not hit gamecube numbers when it's guaranteed that smash 4 for either 3DS or wii u is going to sell more units than melee and brawl did, since both of those games were more console makers than any other game they put out.
