That is a low estimate though, assuming a steep decline in sales after this year. 19.5 isn't too far from the 21.74 million of the Gamecube. 


I don't think it's a low estimate, and I don't think Wii U will consistently stay 11k/week above the Wii U from last year. 

No Mario Kart or Smash Brothers or 3D Mario for Wii U this year. 

The GameCube continues to outsell the Wii U monthly easily, the gap between the two is not shrinking, it grows bigger each month. Unless the Wii U has massive 2017/18 it's not getting within spitting distance of the GameCube IMO. 

I didn't say consistently. I said as an average. It can be under last year a few weeks and still have an average of 11k more per week.  The GameCube dropped hard its later years. You can't assume the same will happen for the Wii U inherently, but if it does, 19 mil seems to be the end-result in today's market. Also people overrate system sellers. It is the accumulation of a library that sells systems, not single games.
