I disagree. I'm expecting something like 10m units in 2013 (+/-1m). It's still quite expensive and the first half of the year should be slow but we'll probably see a price cut in late 2013 and at that point Super Mario Bros., Wii Fit U and (most likely) Mario Kart will be available for the console.
Don't forget when the PS4 and Nextbox launch *they* will be the expensive consoles with no games while the Wii U will be cheaper and have a nice library of games. Again, 2D Mario + Wii Fit + Mario Kart (and there will be another big title for the holidays - Nintendo always releases two or more big games before christmas to push the console) is a powerful combination that should secure a certain level of sales.
