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

At one point, I believed it was possible for PS3 to, not necessarily beat the Wii, but to at least pass 100 million units. I guess I can see it happening, but PS3 would have to maintain that 3.6 million-ish per year, for at least 4 more years, for even that to happen, and I don't think it can do that. PS2 had that continuing momentum because of PS3's rocky start. PS4 has been fortunate enough to have an amazing start, and that's only gonna make the PS3's chances even slimmer.

For Wii-U, unless it starts tracking above GC numbers, I can't see it selling more than 20 million lifetime, and that would be pushing it, given the announcement of NX and even Nintendo seemingly slowly giving up.

"and that would be pushing it, given the announcement of NX and even Nintendo seemingly slowly giving up."

NX wasn't announced, it's probably a handheld and please show me evidence of nintendo "slowly giving up".

 I'm mostly thinking that way because of how drastically Nintendo's vision for Wii-U has changed. It went from being the "hard core" console to being more child friendly (let's be honest about those ads here) to being just Nintendo. Not sure how else to put it lol. Iwata himself admited Wii-U was a secondary and only really there for Nintendo games. It's like they're gonna go through with whatever plans they have, then ditch the Wii-U at the first oppurtune moment. Just my perception.
