12 million lowest and 16 million+ highest in the first year of the Wii U's sales worldwide. PS4 and NextBox launch prices will determine their fates. Sony and MS can not afford to sell more than $100 than the Wii U's $299 price point.

$299 price point was the magical number for the PS1 and PS2 at launch and the PS3 Slim. Historically $299 is the sweet spot for consumers.

Wii debuted at $249 in the US.
