$299 (or less) is a required stipulation for the bet.  First, I do believe that they will launch for that price, and second, even though $329 or even $349 is realistically not that much more, $299 is still the maximum sweet spot for a mass-market console price.  Many people may choose to wait for price drops if it's higher than that.

In other words, if it retails for higher than $299, I would not be fully confident in my prediction coming true.  So take it or leave it.

Ah, your claim wasn't too unlikely to bein with. Now you added much ifs, that makes the risk even lower. Although I think the WiiU will not be the runaway success the Wii was, I also think the WiiU will have a baseline of sales. I already predicted at this point, it will have 50M lifetime min. (that was a little risky, I hope for a little price and NintendoLand pack-in, and I hope that Namcos launch-titles lead to better Nomco support over lifetime). So yes, 15M are possible at $299, especially as long the competition isn't on the market yet. Nah, too risky to bet at this conditions.
