May I ask why?

It is already showing great game support and demand from consumers.

It will sell far more than 40m. I'm not sure how much yet as I kind want to see how it does first quarter 2013, but I'm think it will be in PS360 territory at the moment.

The demand from consumers is natural for a new home console from one of the big 3. Once all the huge Nintendo fans have bought one, I think sales will be quite poor, and that's when my prediction will start to come into effect. I don't think it'll grab the casuals lie the Wii did

Even so that's an over 60% drop in sales compared to the Wii including the fact that many core games may be enticed to the WiiU as neither PS4 or Xbox720 have been announced leaving them with little choice for a new home console after waiting so long.
