Cognitive dissonance: Wii U won't reach 25 million, but PS3 will reach Wii lifetime.

"3. The converse is also true. If you believe Wii U will reach 25 million, then you must also believe the PS3 will reach Wii sales. This is unless you think PS3 sales will drop off heavily, which they shouldn't since the PS3 is still getting new releases and has room for another price-cut, or that Wii U sales will improve greatly while PS3 sales will remain the same. "

Why? ps3 is a declining old consol, it hasn't maintained it's sales and will keep declining. one can bet on wii u reaching 25 million without thinking ps3 will reach wii numbers. 

It isn't enough for the PS3 to decline, the Wii U must incline. And unless a redesign rejuvenizes it, I can't see that happening. 

How about this way? Wii U sales aren't related to ps3. If a person thinks wii u will sell x amount of units, this person doesn't have to think anything about ps3 sales. ps3 has been declining and will keep doing so, while wii u is up yoy.
