I think they will hit 20 million when all is said and done, a price cut will move some system, plus they will support this unit for at least 5 years, With the next gen console launching on it's 5 year. So we will at least see a average of 4 million units sold a year. With a little more during next year from the price cut.

4 million units a year seems extremely difficult, specially considering that it barely surpassed the 3 million mark in 2013 and also this year. But hopefully it can do those numbers.

Is almost at 3 m by 13th december, is going to reach around 3.5 - 3.7 m this year (it just need 200k per week this 3 last weeks, and we probably are going to see +300 by the 20th december week), that is better than the 3.1 m of 2013, around 20% better, is actually growing without a price cut and with the japan drop. If you think on some of the games that is going to have on 2015:
- Xenoblade X
- Splatoon
- Star Fox
- Zelda U
Any of these games could be a big bomb for Wii U and increase the sales as mk8, maybe the 4 can make it on different levels. Plus:
-Devil´s Third
- Yoshi WW
- Kirby rc
- Mario Maker
- Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem (if is not cancelled)
Those games are not going to make a boost on sales but they are going to keep the interest on the console along the year.
Finally they are going to make a price cut somehow on 2015, that will make another boost. And I think wiiU is having so much better reputation than a year ago, I believe people is looking it with better eyes than before, it has become more relevant and some of this games may finally encourage many of them to buy it. So seeing how WiiU is slowly growing since its release and seeing the strong collection of games that are coming in 2015 and the price cut is very possible to see WiiU getting better sales next year , i´d say no less than 4 m, even 6 m is not impossible at all.

Very very wishful thinking here in my honest opinion. 6 millon in 2015 is totally not going to happen, even 4 is a stretch. X1 and PS4 have some hard hitting titles out next year and the PS4 has not even officially dropped its price. The Xbo 360 almost outsold the Wii U in the US last week which is the Wii Us biggest market, things are very very bleak for the Wii U. I can definitely see it selling well under the Gamecube at the end, easily.
