History repeats itself in that factors repeat themselves. Price, launch time, brand, etc. All factors employed by different companies every generation, hence why each on ends up differently. You have to see which console is employing certain factors that have influenced previous generations. 

 

Go ahead, tell me how many consoles Wii U will sell lifetime, as well as Orbis and Durango. Be sure to cite your sources for trends based upon "leaked" or "assumed" specs and price.

Geez wait till xbox and PS4 launch, or at least e3 so we know prices and release dates.

Its ludicrous to give an exact number, but a "ball-park" estimation is more likely once we know all the factors.

As for Wiiu, using history it can either end up as the Gamecube or end up like 3DS is now, depending on how they handle the coming months. History is fun!, its your friend :)
