The thing is you have to consider two major factors:
1) The wii market has dried up. It is selling few units now, and on top of that a lot of wii owners that I know (anecdotal I know but a shared view) are not core gamers and now are on their ipod/phone/pad gaming. These people move to the next big thing and the wii is the past; apple & android are the future.
2)Core gamers are unimpressed due to the line up consisting of a lot of games that are already out on existing consoles, or will be multiplatform. Why spend £200-£300 + £40 when you can just spend £40 and play it on your console online with your pre-existing friend network?
I can't see the WiiU ever hitting 80 million. 60 million tops and I'm being incredibly optimistic there.

Ugh. I hate getting involved in this, but you cannot say that the Wii U will make the Dreamcast look good (less than 10.6million sold) and then go on to say the Wii U could hit 60million.
That's outselling the Dreamcast 6:1.

I know I know. It could outsell the dreamcast, then again it may not; it's too early to call it. I'd like to think it won't outsell the Dreamcast, but people are willing to spend more on tech now then ever before so it is somewhat relative. If MS and Sony are smart and announce their consoles before the WiiU release along with a new iPhone, then there is a good chance the WiiU will bomb.
