It's a very realistic prediction based on both devices sales trajectory. What is ur prediction by the way?

I will not say as I'm not sure about my 3DS expectations!But I'm seeing 100m  total at least!Zorg this is lowballing not realism,you will remember me sometime!85m in your mind means 17-18m(When the most pessimistic but accurate analystS expect 20m,there is a problem with your prediction zorg) :P wii u and 68-67m 3DS...Wii u hasn't gotten a price cut yet,so wait for that to judge!

At least you should expect 3DS to be higher...

At worst 3DS will have sold 60m+ by the end of the year,a fact that makes 67m prediction as lifetime sales absurd...

Gamecube+Gameboy Advance sold about 103 million total.

Wii U is tracking something like 4 million behind Gamecube and 3DS about 15 million behind GBA in the same time frame, so yes 85 million combined is a realistic prediction based on sales trends.

Nintendo has shown that they won't just throw price cuts at Wii U hoping for a miracle, they lost money 3 years in a row and are just focused on profitability over market share, we will never see Wii U get down to the $99 price range that GC was in. A price cut to $249.99 in September to go alongside Mario Maker seems possible along with a further cut to $199.99 in Spring 2017, about 6 months before it's successor releases but that's probably as low as it will go officially (remember 360/PS3 are about 9 years old and still in the $200 range). These things won't make Wii U sales skyrocket, they will just help reduce YoY decline and give momentary boosts.
