As I have done in past predictions, I will make it into a kind of box & whisker plot:

Minimum I believe possible <<< Expected sales range <<< Max I believe possible.

Wii U : 30 million <<< 60-70 million <<< 150 million

The 150 million scenario would involve the Wii U surprising everyone by selling like the Wii did, except with a year or two headstart it would build enough presence to force 3rd parties to give a damn. It's what i believe the Wii would be closing in on by now if the launches of the Wii and X360 were swapped.

I like this. I would personally put it at this box & whisker plot:

Wii U: 50mil <<< 80-100mil <<< 140mil

You realise you are saying it is not possible (obviously major disasters aside, I won't laugh at you if the Wii U fails due to mass extiction) for the Wii U to finish up fewer than 50 million units... I will be waiting until it's had a ridiculously successful 1st year on the market before I determine less than 50 million is impossible. As an example of the possible/impossible scenario stuff, until late 2009 my "max possible" for the Wii was 200 million. Though back then some were still expecting 3rd parties to at least give the Wii a try.
