People believe the Wii U will sell less than the GameCube because of its current sales and low third party support compared to the PS4, One, and even the Wii. As a result, predictions of Wii U being a late bloomer will receive a lot of criticism. Yes, predictions of high PS3 lifetime sales in the early last gen were correct. However, these predictions were criticized because of PS3's initial low sales. There's a reason why some people use the "Specific Game" will save the Wii U joke. Its the same one used against those PS3 sale predictions.
In hindsight all of PS3 games, price cuts, and brand power from PlayStation contributed to the high PS3 large lifetime sales today. But since we are looking at Wii U's sale getting bigger in the present, optimistic prediction of Wii U's sales will receive the same criticism as the optimistic predictions of PS3 sales in the past.
