Do You Still Think Wii U Can Do 25 million??

Also, everyone seems to be convinced the Wii U will have a five year life and I just dont agree at all. The Wii U was already stated to have a very long life ahead of it by Nintendo, and there would be no point to say that if they then went on to do what they always do. Also, Iwata said he wont stop supporting the Wii U untill he beleives most Wii U owners are satisfied. More indication that there is a chance they are in it for the long haul.

The Wii U having a longer life than the Gamecube throws off the GC>WiiU argument a bit, which is why I guess people stick with it.

They said that because given the poor sales a lot of baseless rumors were floating around that they were looking to release a successor earlier than usual.  Nintendo said that to nix the rumors, nothing more.  The wii u may get a normal life cycle, a shorter one or maybe a longer one as you suppose but right now we don't know.  What we do know is that right now it is trending below the gamecube so unless its lifespan is considerably longer it looks like the wii u will have a difficult time passing 20 million, let alone 25.

Exactly. I agree with you there. Which is why it's annoying when people act certain it wwont last longer at all. No-one seems to mind such an assumption in that direction, but mind an assumption that it WILL last longer. Double standards I tells ya. Not by you specifically, I guess. I dunno.

I disagree that it will struggle to reach 20 million, but it's just one opinion vs another for that as well.
