In my opinion, the Wii U will break records for the best selling console similar to the 3DS did for the handheld market. Although I am optimistic about Wii U sales which I believe will reach 65-70 million (350$ price point), I am scared people will use the same strategy as they did for the 3DS (Not buy Wii U, wait for price drop after 6 months). I don't know at this point :s What do you guys think?

I don't know what records you would be talking about but if you mean sales records, 65-70 Million wouldn't be enough.

Sorry, that wasnt clear, like the 3DS did, outsell the DS in the first few months of launch. 

"On November 28, 2006, Nintendo reported that it had sold over 600,000 consoles in the first eight days of launch in the Americas. Including the sales of accessories and games, Nintendo's Wii-related revenue had hit $190 million in its first week.^[42]

The Wii launched in Japan on December 2, 2006. Japan initially received 400,000 Wii consoles,^[43] with around an estimate of 370,000 sold in two days, with Wii Sports and Wii Play being the top two selling games.(...)

On December 12, 2006, sales data analysis firm Chart-Track and Nintendo confirmed with several press outlets in the United Kingdom that the Wii had become the fastest selling video game console in the region's recorded history, selling 105,000 consoles in its opening weekend, (...) Nintendo announced on the following day that the Wii had sold 325,000 units across Europe in its first two days of sale, making it the fastest selling console across the entire European continent.^[47]"

As you can see, that would be a very hard record to break.
