FICTION: The most powerful console can never win because the most powerful console has never won before.
FACT: The PS4 will win because no console with such a commanding lead has ever lost before. The Wii U will not win because no console that was in a distant third place after its second year on the market has ever won before.

FICTION: WiiU is going to sell 260 million units according to John Lucas
FACT: To my knowledge, no Nintendo system has ever peaked beyond the 3rd year. Therefore it will take an average of 30 years of WiiU selling 3m a year to beat PS4

I believe NES peaked after its 3rd year.......so Wii U still has hope to win???

I have little data going that far back unfortunatey :(

Would make for an interesting discussion tho if it was, because these days some Nintendo systems (in some regions) peak in their launch year. (3DS in the US)
