What do you think is the best case scenario for the Wii U?

Except, you know, common sense. People want to play Mario Kart 8. They will buy the system for it. A reduced price tag and Kart/Smash will make it more appealing to the casual and family buyers.

Measuring Wii U's lifetime sales by its performance so far is like measuring PS3's lifetime sales by its 2006-2008 performance.

I think you need to go look at Ps3's sales then.

Wii U at the end of March 2013 6.17m.

Ps3 at end of March 2008 12.85m

Not only that but Ps3 wasn't released in Europe for 5 of those months unlike the Wii U. Also, Wii U will not last as long as the Ps3. Nor does the Wii U have as big of a problem that Ps3 had with price.

Their relative sales are completely beside the point.

The point is, PS3 sales picked up after a slow start. The same will be true of Wii U.
