No, I don't think it can. 70-80 million would be a great result. The market is moving faster and faster and is branching out into all sorts of areas and hardware, this means that the cake gets smaller and gets devoured a lot faster than before. There's also the simple fact that Nintendo still haven't been able to mend their relationship with 3rd parties and the WiiU as a product just doesn't seem to have the same appeal and impact that the Wii had in it's time, the web was on fire close to Wii launch, not a whole lot of buzz around the WiiU, most of my friends and relatives don't even know Nintendo is releasing a new console at all.
Anyone expecting the WiiU, X-box 720 or PS4 to pull amazing numbers are in for a disappointment in my opinion.

Think about it.. Yes laptops, tablet and smartphones have moved focus, and also bring games.. and it took a bit of the gaming sales..
But the true consols are still the best solution to play games.. AND this time The consols strike back.. have you seen nintendo tvii.. do u know that the wii u will have a super cool html5 browser that can way more than any thing apple or samsung has in the moment and that the consols are starting to get apps to..
The consols strike back.. and they are cheap.. (I think the consols sales will be the same or better than last gen)

And that there proves my point; consoles are doing the same thing as every other apparatus, they're taking on more and more functionality, thus fitting into the fast pace of the market and getting caught in the never-ending maelstrom of updates and becoming obsolete quicker.
