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

So I was right. I knew it wouldn't do as well as Wii even then.

Edit: I would also like to point out that you made that thread in July of 2012. The reality of how bad things could get didn't really hit me until a week or so after the release of the Wii U. The release was very good, but the following weeks were not.
