No chance. As in at all.
As of JUNE, Wii U had sold over 3.6 million. As of right now, it's got to be about 4 million. By the time Zelda, Mario, DK, and Wii Fit come out, you're going to be looking at, I'd wager, 5 million minimum. Possibly even 6 million, depending on whether or not Nintendo of America:
A) Has some really strong advertising for the thing for once.
and
B) Has a really good bundle to help give an additional boost to sales.
But no, in all honesty, considering that the PS4 isn't coming out till, what, November? No, I don't seriously think it's going to sell 5 million copies in less than 2 months time. Even if it launches in October, it would still be literally astounding for the console to sell that much that fast. $400, for a base unit with no games and no extra controllers, no now-mandatory Playstation-Plus subscription, etc., is still not cheap by any means, and early on, there are a lot of holiday season games this year that are still going to be available on PS3/360/PC and some even on Wii U, so there won't be a huge compulsion on the part of many, I would think, to run out right away and spend close to $500 on a new system.
And even just considering Wii U sales in this year alone, I think by the end of the year, there's a very solid chance for the system to have sold over 2 million just in 2013. I have a good feeling that the fall/holiday season is going to be kind to Nintendo's struggling new system. I still don't know that I see PS4 selling 2 million in just a couple of months......it's not very likely.
