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

 

Why are all of you underestimating Lego games? The Lego series has had huge sales especially on Nintendo consoles. It will sustain/increase the Wii U's sales. I'm pretty sure of it.

(I deleted the sales of the Wii remakes for Pikmin because they were just that; remakes. Your statement was off about the "decline" in the series.)

However, you are right that Pikmin was never really a strong seller. I do fell though that Pikmin 3 will garner much better sales and way more media attention, it should be a system seller.
