ps3 and xbox 360 did sub wii u numbers, did that cause an industry crash?

They never had weekly sales as low as the Wii U.  Also there was the Wii, and the DS/PSP were doing better than the 3DS/Vita.  In your world we'd have 3 consoles doing less than 100k combined next April.

only 2. wii u will be selling much better starting Q3/4 2013.

Regardless, you'd have two consoles doing 50k or less, and the Wii U doing what?  Even if it magically went up to 300k, that would be a smaller hardware market than 2007.

To put it into further perspective, the 3 consoles and 2 handhelds did 13.5 million units of hardware in the first quarter of 2007.  Meanwhile the Wii U has done 603k in the first quarter of this year.  If both the PS4 and 720 do even worse than that we are looking at maybe a million from them.  The magical 300k a week would give the Wii U 3.9 million.  So that would leave 8.6 million for the handhelds to make up.  Considering they did less than 3.2 million this year, that doesn't seem likely.  So yes, if the next gen consoles do even worse than the Wii U, the industry would be in deep trouble.
