I don't see it north of 30million in 3 years. Gamecube sold 3.8mil by the end of it's first FY and 6.68 by the following October. Wii U was 350k short its first FY and only shipped 160k the first quarter. That means it will need to ship 3 million this quarter ending sept 30 to be even with gamecube. Luckily for Wii U though Gamecube had a very underwhelming 3rd and 4th quarter. So even though they will be probably be 2.5mil behind going into the holidays they have a chance to make it back up. But still, beating the Gamecube just means more than 21.75mil units world wide. Not much of an accomplishment. Even then when I look at the numbers and estimate what I think are reasonable sales for it's position I still find it coming up 500k short from Gamecube by it's second FY. I honestly think Nintendo will ship less than 6million this year. I mean, it would be about 4mil during the holidays which would be better than last year by 33% and a million for 4th quarter which would be about a 200% increase. I think when Nintendo estimated the 9mil this year they didn't expect to go any lower than the 390k for the quarter. They were probably expecting it to level of and probably being able to ship more than that it's first two quarters.
