LOL nope. Wii U is tracking FAR behind the Gamecube, which only sold ~22 million units, and Wii U will end up with less than that. Logically, that would mean the Xbox One would also sell less than ~22 million units according to your prediction.

That's impossible, even if you think it's doomed. Even the Original Xbox outsold Gamecube with ~24 million units sold, and that was with 5 years of sales. Microsoft will push the One for longer than that, will have actual 3rd-party support, and has a bigger fan base to sell to compared to when MS were just starting out.

By the end of 2014, Xbox One will pass Wii U and will stay ahead. 2014 will be the peak year of sales for the Wii U with MK and Smash. If Nintendo is lucky, 2015 might even be flat in terms of sales because of Zelda/later Smash sales, but after that, sales will drop like a rock as PS4 and Xbox One hit/start to hit their peaks.

NO.

"Wii U is tracking FAR behind the Gamecube, which only sold ~22 million units, and Wii U will end up with less than that. Logically, that would mean the Xbox One would also sell less than ~22 million units according to your prediction."

GameCube have sold more even of XBOX ONE.

In 2015 Wii U sell more that in 2014, and XBOX ONE will reach peak in 2015, maximum 2016.
