At this rate, is wiiU even going to reach 15M units lifetime? I can't believe how badly it performed this November. Japan is down, Americas is almost flat and we have no clue about Europe (I'm talking about holiday sales of course). They might end up shipping only 2.2.-2.4m units this Q which would mean they would end up barely hitting their very low forecast. Given the release of smash and kart, I was expecting wiiU to smash that forecast and end up shipping something like 4-4.5m. I guess I was wrong.

And this year is probably it's peak year, meaning that next year will probably bring wiiU LTD sales to 12m units (?) and then they're probably going to barely reach 15M lifetime. Actually they're probably going to end up with 14m units sales lifetime seeing how badly the system is performing.

What's the approx LTD right now? 

You're probably right. That is a very poor number for them this year given the much better lineup of games. 

I wonder how long they will support Wii U given all this. 

Around 7.7m. It's probably going to end up at around 9m at the end of this year.

Ouch. That's worse than I thought. I think it probably will beat your 15 mill number, but not by much.
