At happy Squirrel:

1.The Wii sold more than the pS2 yearly because the pS2 is over 10 years old right know. But why do the casuals by the Wii? Because it always was the cheapest console on the market. That and the fact that it offers casual games.

2. The 800 M games the Wii sold isnt really a good argument. How many games of the 800 M units sold a bundled with a Wii or the Wii-Moote etc.
Games like Wii Sports, mario Kart Wii, Super Mario Bros Wii just to name a few are bundled like hell.
So this make your 800 M argument a little bit invalid. How many units have kinect Adventures sold when it doesnt get bundled with every kinect system out there.
And believe me there are many guys which have a Wii for 2 or 3 games and thats all.

3. Bringing the 3ds into this conversation has nothing do to with the WiiU and i tell you why

- handhelds are a different thema- you compare apples with tomatoes. Nintendo produce handhelds for how long? Nintendo always was the Number 1 when it comes to handhelds. The first step into this market came from Sony with the PSP. You better compare home consoles with other home consoles. And the only home console where Nintendo really shine was the Wii. Nintendo 64 was mildly succesfull and the Game Cube was a flopp.

- i do not need to remember you that the Nintendo 3ds need a big price cut aftzer a few monts, a new design plus it already realeased three Mario Games right know to get those numbers it has right know and yet it still managed to sell Ok in EU and US compared to the DS.

- i do not need to remember you that the Game Cube also has games like
Super Mario Sunshine, Luigis Mansion, Paper mario, Mario Kart, Mario Party, Pikmin, Super Smash bros, Pokemon, Animal Crossing and yet it didnt managed to get Number 1. So you see even with Mario doesnt automatically mean that it will be a success.

- i do not need to remember you that both The X Box 360 and pS3 will be able to outsell the Wii in some years

So in the end all i want to say is dont be so sure about the Wii U. Its like me saying the PS4 will dominate next gen because it dominated PS1 and PS2 times without knwoing the specs and the price. Or its like me saying the PS4 will be first next gen because the PS3 is the best selling home console each year.
I also dont say that the Wii U wont be first ( anything can happened) but it also can flopp hardly. So dont be so sure or you might get really dissapointed.
