Its possible but not really likely. One thing to consider tho is that Wii U nearly 2 years after launch still has an official price of $299, while Gamecube has been $149 for over a year at this point and less than 2 months away from hitting $99. Maybe just maybe when Wii U gets a significant price reduction, it can start to make up some lost ground against Gamecube. That and if Amiibo turns out to be a massive hit among children.
So basically if Wii U hits $199 by this time next year and Amiibo becomes huge then I think Wii U has a chance to pass Gamecube but if that doesnt noticeably change its sales then I would say 16-18 million sounds reasonable.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
