If both companies intend to launch their system by the end of 2013 there is no turning back without loosing money. Games are already being made and both companies have spend too much money to just "delay" the new consoles. So imo it doesn't matter if the Wii U sales are good or not, Sony and MS won't push there consoles launch (unless something major happens).

But to answer your question I believe the lowest the Wii U will do is 4m. Nintendo forecast 5.5m units by March and I believe they can achieve that goal. After that is pretty hard to say without knowing which games will be release.

really? Xbox 360 took a full year to do that in much better economic times and nintendo wants to do that in 4 months? Bold forecast...

This forecast is lower than the Wii (I believe that was 6m). There are great games coming next year (Pikmin 3, Monster Hunter, Rayman, Aliens Colonial Marines, etc) so it's possible for them to achieve that number. Nintendo systems usually have a big hyped that last for quite a while, so by March Nintendo is set imo. After that is what worries me since there hasn't been any announcement for games (outside of the obvious ones that will come eventually like Smash, 3D Mario, Zelda and Bayonetta 2 I guess).
