Wii U most important year is probably going to be 2014. Smash Bros and Mario Kart 8, two huge system sellers will be out, and I expect the truly new Zelda and Super Mario to come out at the end of 2014.

But I think that won't be enough against the PS4, which seems to be a huge success even at 400€ and with a limited line-up.

So I expect something like this for 2014 :
PS4 : 16mil
Wii U : 13mil
XOne : 12mil

I'm sorry but I am beyond tired of hearing about how Nintendo's core IPs are going to somehow matter. I understand that LAST gen, they did. But that was because the Wii was a trojan horse of sorts. If you want proof that Smash and Kart aren't game changers, look to the N64 and Gamecube. Both of those systems got their asses handed to them by Sony and both had Smash and Kart, along with every other first party IP you could dream of.

People just need to get over it. The Wii-U isn't going anywhere. That's why I chose to go with the 3DS this gen. To me, that's the defaco Nintendo console. It gets all the love and attention that the Wii-U doesn't from Nintendo AND it's got amazing third party support. Who needs a Wii-U when you have a 3DS?

I disagree with you. Mario Kart and Smash Bros are game changers. At the time of N64 and GameCube, they weren't game changers, but now they are. With DS and Wii, Mario Kart has moved from 8 million players to 34 million players, while Smash Bros from 6m to 12m. These franchises gained popularity, and they are now excellent long-term system sellers in my opinion.

With Mario Kart and Smash Bros out, many of the DS/Wii players will probably be much more interested in the Wii U. If you add brand new Super Mario and/or Zelda and/or Pokémon games for the end of 2014, 13 million for the year is absolutely possible.
