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

One can predict wii u will sell any number while thinking ps3 won't cross 90m.

Sure I can make the claim the Wii U will sell 6 billion. Doesn't make it a  rational nor logical prediction. We can make decent assumptions based on historical data. 

Historical data says wii u still has some years left with good support and hasn't gotten a good price cut yet. Meanwhile, ps3 is almost 9 years old and continuously declining. with the current sales, it's an impossibility for ps3 to reach wii numbers, but wii u can still reach and exceed your example.
