lots of incorrect assumptions in op. but no, will outsell twilight princess on the gamecube in its first six months (1.59m), majora's mask (3.36m), skyward sword (3.86) and maybe even wind waker on gamecube (4.6m).

people made the same predictions about mk8 and that seems to be headed toward outselling super circuit, super mario kart and even double dash. so no. also, 15m ltd is chief among op's wrong assumptions.

How do you know my assumptions are wrong? have you got a crystal ball?

whenever you make predictions of this sort, just read this article: http://www.polygon.com/2014/5/15/5718168/mario-kart-series-sales

plus wii u has been on the market barely 2 years. it would have to be discontinued in 2016 for your 15m prediction to be correct. 2015 is its peak year in terms of first party releases and support. it won't be discontinued in 2016, it'll probably be around till at least 2017-8 (just going by 5-6 year cycle as the standard, which it tends to be). and that's assuming this isn't another long generation like the last. wii u is probably headed for 20-25m. nintendo could keep it on the market for years after the successor is released, as they did with the gamecube, just to prove a point.
