Did anyone predict Wii U to do this bad? If so, why?

I thought the worst case scenario for a Wii successor by 2012 was 80 million.

But after Fall 2013, sales data showed it was impossible for Wii U to beat N64 in sales.

Still buying it for my generation dosage of Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Mario, and hopefully Zelda!
