I'm thinking 15m lifetime sales. Nintendo will want to get a new console out as soon as possible, they've probably already gotten teams working on software for it. 2015 will see a few big titles like Zelda and Metroid but I think that will be it. The new console will probably be out in 2016, maybe 2017. Nintendo knows the WiiU is dead, no need to prolong it's suffering.

I guess the question there is what would be so different about the successive Nintendo console that would allow it to fare any better than the Wii U or GameCube? 

People simply don't want to buy a console for only 2-5 good games per year, that's just the bottom line, it doesn't matter how good of a Mario Kart or Mario or Donkey Kong or Zelda game Nintendo can make especially when all those franchises are now available on the 3DS/future Nintendo portable. 

Nintendo needs to make a move out left field with their next console. Maybe go big into VR tech. They can't compete with a conventional console, they have to do something that will get everyone's attention.
