In its first 12 months Wii U sold 4m, I think it should be able to beat that handily. I dont see Wii U selling amazing numbers but then again I dont see it having such a steep decline in the early part of next year either.
For the first 3/4 of 2013 the only big releases were Lego City, Luigi U and Pikmin. The first 3 quarters of 2014 has Wii Fit, Donkey Kong, Mario Kart confirmed and Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta, Yoshi, X, Smash Bros are possible to release im that time frame. Also next year could see a true price cut to $250, this year was more like better value bundles, and with a steady release schedule comes steady advertising.
I could see Wii U hitting or coming close to 10m by its 2nd bday which would put it at 6m for year 2.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
