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

Oh, and I voted for 2-4 m in the first three months - even thu it's waaay to early to tell...

I really think that the last month alone it will push out some major numbers. It is Christmas as you know. Are you basing your 2-4 million off a world wide release?

Yes, the console will launch about the same time around the world - perhaps one week or two earlier in Japan and/or NA... Is there any other way to launch new hardware nowadays?!

I think the WiiU will either succeed unexpetedly (spelling?!) well OR have a rocky start, gaining momentum as time passes (not unlike the 3DS). It's so hard to tell right now; we don't know which games it's launching with and which games will make the launch window... Considering what we know right NOW, I'd say 2-4m sold systems...

Well I do not know how much we should trust GDC reactions, but they are having mixed feelings about the wii U. I hope Nintendo did not show anything different than a few months back. I still think it will have a big year once it comes out just because it will have not competition. Other than PS3 and 360. Which will be a gen behind by then.

True that WiiU is only facing PS360 - but that's quite a formidable opponants mind you... Remember that WiiU will at least be 200 bucks more expansive when it comes out - so it really needs to have significantly better graphics, so that you can tell the differences between WiiU and PS360. I mean, why would you else buy a much more expansive machine?! it's gotta be better
