Wii U won't go the same way cause Nintendo has a lot more financial ressources then SEGA, will it sell as much as the Wii? No, nobody ever thought that, but it will be more then the N64.

Well the N64 sold around 35 millions, so lets do the math with what we got so far, lets say that the Wii U will be supported for 10 years(wich is unlikely). Ten years are 120 months, lets multiply that for 25,000 wich is somewhat around what the Wii U is selling according to VGChartz. That gives us 3,000,000 now lets add to that what the Wii U has sold so far, according to VGchartz it has sold around 3.15 millions and according to Nintendo it has been something around 4 millions, so lets make it 5 millions for the sake of hope, that gives us a total of 8 millions sells in 10 years.
Now I know sells with get better as the legendary Nintendo franchises arrive to the console, but how much really?
The Gamecube sold around 25 millions, I predict that this will be the worst selling home console from Nintendo with a total lifetime sales of less then 20 millions.
What do you think?

I think you're a hundred shades of wrong.
You're failing to take into account the huge boosts Nintendo products see during the holiday season, and using the slowest months of the year as a baseline. Very flawed logic.

Well you're very right, there were many things I didn't take into account, but it was on porpuse. I just wanted to put things on perspective base on the reception the Wii U haves until now, but lets double the numbers I calculated, that's 16 millions, no wait lets tipple them that's 24 millions still somewhat a little less then the GC. I just can't see the Wii U doing much better then that, It's just not so appeling, not at all like the original Wii. By no means I'm bashing on Nintendo I plan on buying one soon enogh can't wait for Smash(The new mechanics look so freaking smooth!) and X(A trully next gen tittle), but sales-wise Wii U looks very bad.
