250k (29th) - 100k USA 100k Japan 50k Europe

200k(5th) - 80k USA 80k Japan 40k Europe

Less and less each week after until Mid-February when it hit 105k per week. (45k USA 35k Japan 25k Europe).

well, going by both 360 and Wii's first ever week in January they both have increased sales - 360 even enjoyed a prolonged bump in sales in January before falling, so I'm sceptical about your January 5th prediction... Thus far all (previous) signs point at Wii U making 5m by March.

360 and Wii were supply constrained. Wii U isn't, it's on shelves today. This won't be the case (January).

The economy may be slightly worse, but the size of the previous fanbase is absolutely relevant. 24m - 100m no comparison. Wii U launch should be 4x as big as Xbox 360, and it's merely twice.

By your logic the Wii had no chance of selling more than 21 million units.

Huh? I said the launch. Not lifetime sales. 

My logic would dictate that Wii launch and Xbox 360 launch (priced comparably) should be similar based upon size of fanbase from previous generation.
