For those asserting that it's not possible for Wii U to improve, I'm going to point to the DS. 2005 was a slow year for the DS compared with 2006 in a major way - for most months, 2006 roughly doubled 2005's sales, if not more than that (exceptions being March and November/December). What changed? Games. The right games were released, which drove sales.
Note that I'm not saying the Wii U will do as well as the DS. I'm saying that the improvement could be comparable, if not even better. Wii U could conceivably triple last year's monthly sales for each month from here until the end of the year, if Nintendo plays its cards right. Last year, it sold over 2.3 million units between June and December. 6.9 million isn't at all unreasonable in such a situation.
Note that this still puts the Wii U far below the sales that the Wii saw in 2007 (when it was supply-constrained) and around the level of PS3 and 360, both of which were struggling to get their legs.
Anybody who claims that 7 million Wii U units sold through the end of the year is impossible is quite simply wrong. It's not a trivial result, by any means, and requires a lot of work on Nintendo's part, but "impossible" is just plain false. End of story.
