Probably with lower lifetime sales (but we can't know for sure so early), Wii U sales pattern will probably be more like PS3 than Wii: instead of a few huge system sellers (mostly 1st party), Wii U will slowly take-off as its game library will grow, with some big sellers, many decent ones, and the huge ones that will come later, as a consequence of already large enough user base... Something like current GT5 lifetime sales, or Xmas 2012 CoD. It requires competence and steadfast commitment, but it has a little advantage: gradual growth based on good and large overall SW offer doesn't rely on hype, so it can make up for horrible marketing.
