Which had the better fifth year: Wii or GameCube?

The Wii is in its fifth year of life. After a strong fourth year, things have slowed a bit lately, thanks in part to the usually slow winter months. That said, how would you compare Wii’s fifth year to the GameCube’s fifth year (2006)? Although still early, I’d say it’ll end up being much better. You?

I think I’ll still prefer the gamecube generation in the end, but the Wii’s had a particularly strong 2010, but I think 2011 might be the end, apart from skyward sword (which I’m freakin’ pumped for), the release schedule looks kinda meh, it’s clear a Wii2 announcement is on the horizon. But I think the Wii will have a better ‘final year’ than the gamecube overall.

The Wii had better have a better year, considering there is no successor to the Wii in sight…

All I remember from the Gamecube in 2006 was Twilight Princess, which ended up being ported to Wii. It was on it’s last legs. The Wii is definitely set to have a stronger 5th year than the Gamecube.

I’m going to call that Skyward Sword will be delayed. Not only that, it will also be a launch title on the Wii2. Anyone seeing the pattern here? >.> lol No but seriously if they do that, I will cry.
