What were your lifetime predictions for Wii U from 2011/2012 compared the 2013/2014? Tell everyone?

I never really had an exact number, but I was expecting over 50 million before launch. Right now, I think it will be anywhere between 20 million and 35 million!

Not gonna lie, before launch I expected Wii like sales |D
Now I say 25-35M if it continues to do mediocre and 40-55M if it has a major turn around after Smash and/or Zelda
