Am I the only one that expects the WiiU to completely bounce back and sell at least 75 million in its lifetime? I think some of these predictions will prove very premature.

If they take the necessary mesures like a better price entry and a better stream of games it can be done.

I don't see price as the issue, just a lack of software, which every new console suffers from. It's not selling like its predecessor because that was unheard of before it. Two months in and the system is far from tanking. The games will release, and the sales will complement.

I think the price is an issue in the sense that right now it is competing against cheaper alternatives like the 360 and PS3, both with great games coming this year and a great library of cheaper games. If I did not own a PS3 or an Xbox I would prefer to buy one of those with the 300 - 350 dollars that cost a Wii U because right now I don't see anything "must have" about the Wii U, and this is coming from someone who always supports Nintendo Systems. Also, almost nothing in the Wii U screams ''next generation hardware'' when you put it against the PS3 or the Xbox 360.  When we learn the price of the next Xbox and the PS4 I think we will get a more clear picture about the Wii U future.
