With the 34 million of the N64 and 22 million of the Game Cube. Nintendo still managed to make a profit, selling on average 5.5 million console per year over the duration of the 5th and 6th generations. The Wiis arrival in late 2006 went on to sell more console systems in 3 years with 60+ million than the N64 and Game Cube sold over a decade between the mid 1990s up to the end of 2006.


Wii U will continue to turn a profit for Nintendo despite its slow start and it should sell some where between the Game Cube and N64s sales. 30 million Wii U sold for this generation is a fair prediction.


The Wii u is not selling at a profit yet and 30 million sold is a bold prediction - assuming its lifetime is counted till the release of the next Nintenso home console -  it would take aprox 4+ more years selling at 5 million a year - something it did not do last year and nearly guaranteed not to do this year
