Holy shit. What the hell where these guys thinking when the Wii U came out? Seriously, I knew that the Nintendo bias was strong here, but "no chance for under 50m", c'mon maaaaaaaaaan, that's just hilarious. XD

The goal posts just kept getting moved back. 

"Wii U will have a better 2015 than 2014, just wait for the price cut!"

Is basically the new lowered expectations version of "no chance Wii U won't hit 50 million!" from 3-4 years ago. 

Look like my prediction of Wii U and Vita not hitting 40 million combined LTD from Nov. 2013 is panning out to be fairly spot on. Lots of denial there too like "PS4 will cause a big boost in Vita sales!" ... lol. 

At least for those who posted on this thread back in 2012, who are currently looking like PS2 fans who looked at the PS3 as the second coming, price be damned back in 2006, it looks like the new standard for declaring Wii U a success will be proving the OP prediction wrong by breaking 40m units. 

Both the Wii U and the PSV will be prematurely abandoned, making your own prediction more likely than not. 

I can potentially see SCE keeping the PSV in production simply because it supports the PS4 and production costs will probably be low enough to keep Sony from losing money on each unit sold, but as a gaming platform, it's become a mobile game platform like iOS or Android (only the games are more expensive) rather than a handheld platform (like the 3DS) and Japan is about the only region still supporting the development of handheld titles.
