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

All the consoles will become more competitve over time. I havent forgotten them at all. If by price drops you mean Black Friday and holiday deals, then that will also happen to the Wii U too, still making it the cheapest 8th gen console.  And you're right that games not being on other consoles separate them more and more eventually, but that's also inevitable. I understand the lack of 3rd part games on other consoles coming to Wii U is a problem for many, but I just think you might be overestimating how badly it will affect the Wii U, honestly. Or underestimating the games on the console. One of the two.

Plus, the Wii U makes a great compliment to another console/PC, so that might actually help it snag some extra sales by people who still got the PS4/Xbox One.

 

I still cant imagine it selling under 1.5 million this holiday at all, really. Or the console having a life less than 5 years.

Why will they become more competitive? You are assuming all have an equal distribution of good game libraries that grow....which may not be true, especially when 2 have less power - the wiiU having the least (and very little in modern terms). 

 

The WiiU adds nothing to the market, hence the poor sales. Anything else does the same or better multiplayer. All it consist of is Nintendo games. This alone will shift a few million units as Nintendo fans want to play sequels no matter what. However, does the WiiU attract new customers? From what I have seen, it does not. This is why I doubt it will sell 1.5m again this holiday. People have other options, the WiiU is now stocked is less places, and I beleive that most people who want a WiiU already own it. 

 

I still disagree with many of what you said. There are a large amount of people waiting for specific games before jumping in, Like Smash Bros, Zelda U, and a new Metroid (hopefully) to give a few examples. I understand that the distribution of good games are different, though I beleive the biggest reasons for the Wii U's failure are it's perception, number of games and advertising. All three of those are getting better over time, which is why sales should increase.
