is more realistic 35,000,000, or 33,000,000 like Nintendo 64, but for me most of it is too pessimistic.

Ok, Wii U have sold less of GameCube, but even X360 have sold less fist year!

XBOX 360: 9,36 milion on 31 Mar 2006

GC: 9,56 milion on 31 Mar 2002.

And GC it was not even released in Europe, if if we take the first 8 months of Europe XBOX 360 have sold only 7,78 milion.

So, if XBOX 360 have sold 80,000,000, best case for Wii U could very well be 40,000,000...

IMHO, for me Wii U will sold more of 35,000,000, and Nintendo and nintendo will be able to earn something despite not recover its initial losses.

You got your dates wrong.  The numbers you posted are for 2007 and 2003 respectively. You're also comparing shipped to sold.  The 360 had shipped 10.9m by March 2007. 

I'm also not sure what you mean by take the first 8 months of the 360 in Europe.  The 360 was only out about five months longer than the Gamecube in the comparison.  The Gamecube had also been out about 11 months in Europe by Mar 2003, so the eight months thing doesn't really work in either direction.  The Gamecube also had nearly three months longer in Japan (Sept 14th vs Dec 10th).

 

Wait, I express myself better. 

GC was released in September and November 2001 in Japan and America, and May 2002 in Europe.

GC have sold 9,56 milion on Mar 2003, and X360 9,36 milion on Mar 2007.

But, GC coming in EU on may, with 7 month of distance of X360.

So, remove 7 month of EU of X360 (1.5 milion), and they have sold "only" 7,78 milion...

The Japan not considered because XBOX in japan not sell, but be honest add 2 month on X360 in Japan, and they sold 23k more, so, 7,8 milion VS 9,56 milion of GC.
