The way I read Jranation's comment, I thought he was expecting it to double the WiiU, Vita and PS4 combined. Which seems a tad on the high end but I could honestly see it coming close if Nintendo could ship enough units.

Wii U, Vita, and PS4 combined AND doubled is about 7 million as of 52 weeks. Unless Nintendo has been secretly producing enough consoles to sell 4.5 million in the holiday season alone, that seems doubtful.

Eh, I just took a quick glance at the graph and saw all three platforms selling about a million after 52 weeks. So all three combined times 2 would be six, and coming close would be 5.5, which wouldn't be impossible if Nintendo could ship enough units (which they can't).

 

That was my reasoning anyway, but it clearly falls apart upon further analysis.
