A drop in share price shows investors DO NOT believe in the WiiU. 
Fandom will not keep a console alive. Publishers are wary of the console and many gamers are asking why they would buy a console that is negligibly more powerful then their current console, whilst offering the same games albeit some will be almost a year old on release. 

Make the Dreamcast look like a success, eh

Would you like to...

Make a bet?

Hum, if we take inflation into account and the spread of wealth, I think I would be happy to say the WiiU will sell 25%+ slower then PS3, 360 & the Wii. I'd be reluctant to put any figures on it but I would say around the ~20 million unit mark (maybe ~30 if they have some surpises lined up) is where I expect the wiiu to begin to frazzle out. 

However, to boost sales what Nintendo may do is either discontinue the wii (unlikely) or bomb the WiiU price by so much the Wii becomes irrelevant, as they did with the DS by bombing the 3DS price (v. likey).  Still though, the Wii sales are so low nowadays would any sort of price drop be enough? I don't think it would, but it would help it hit maybe ~40 million units? And I'm being very charitable there. 

What are your predictions on sales?
