How do you think the Wii U will do its first 3 months? Based on what we know now.

The one point I am in major disagreeance with you on is that WiiU will only see the success of the Gamecube.  If you mean mainly only appealing to Nintendo fans, well, that remains to be seen.  But if you mean only 21m+ units sold lifetime, I can't imagine any of the big three selling that little ever again unless they royally screw up...

Well, that would be MS if they didn't allow used games on their new system right?

Yeah, that or the game TV they have to be developing, according to David Perry, lol.

If they start making "gaming TV:s" it won't be untill next-next gen anyways, with Apple taking the lead around 2016/17/18 half way thru the generation. And it would make sense: they could easily use iPad/iPhone as the controller! And they will of course store everything on iCloud, and you'll buy the games thru iTunes (or something similar).

Then Sony will jump right in (that is, if they haven't sold off their TV department to manage financially), and MS will buy Panasonic, Sharp or Vizio and get in the Game TV race as well by 2020. Nintendo will be left alone in the purely gaming market and sweep in and take all hardcore gamers and 50% of the casual market - cuz they'll still be innovating the gameplay. But that's in 2025 I guess...
