The amount of pessimism Wii U is getting is beyond ridiculous

The pessimism is justified, but to this extent? Certainly not.

Yes, I personally think Wii U will turn things around but not as much as most hope or want. That doesn't change the fact though that the longer Nintendo takes to act to turn it around the more the Wii U will be damaged. I personally think the Wii U will settle at 45mil but can see myself reducing that number if Nintendo is expecting things to turn around just from their original strategy. Basically, the here and now and way things are looking up the Wii U will turn into a Game Cube until Nintendo reacts (which they have shown no signs of yet) and until then I think it's justified.

Going after the numbers in this thread - http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=157842 - the median of what people expect from WiiU is something in the area of 45-50 million lifetime. You say yourself 45 million. So what most people think and your own perception are pretty much in line.

I've maintained 45m before the Wii U launched. Those sales are based off of revised predictions in response to the dreadful sales
