Not unless Lego, Pikmin, and that other game releasing in Q1-ish have anything to say for it.
The Wii U should be able to keep up with the PS3. I'm not going to say sell better because then it won't due to my "luck."

A 3rd party game and an a weak new IP? I don't think so....

Just look at Pikmin 1 and 2 sales for Gamecube.

Pos	Game	Platform	Year	Genre	Publisher	North America	Europe	Japan	Rest of World	Global
1	Pikmin	GC	2001	Strategy	Nintendo	0.78	0.25	0.56	0.04	1.63
2	Pikmin 2	GC	2004	Strategy	Nintendo	0.48	0.13	0.56	0.03	1.20

The franchise declined even further during the Wii era.

3	New Play Control! Pikmin	Wii	2008	Strategy	Nintendo	0.26	0.09	0.19	0.04	0.58
4	New Play Control! Pikmin 2	Wii	2009	Strategy	Nintendo	0.04	0.12	0.20	0.01	0.37
