How did you come up with those 100M+ numbers?

How is 3DS peaking around PS3 and 360 levels? So which do you think will have higher lifetime sells PS3 or 3DS?
3DS- over 100 million.
WiiU- I honestly don't know. It could go either way at this point.

I agree with this
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
At the start of the gen I said Wii U will sell 16m and I'll stick with that.
I thought 3DS would be 40m but bar the end of the world I got that one wrong. I don't think Nintendo has much left for it though and third parties aren't biting so I'll say 60m when all is said and done.

Actually, that's lower than what the PS3 and 360 will end up with. And I think the answer is pretty simple - the 3DS's peak is about the same as the PS3 peak with the difference that the 3DS peaked earlier (this year) in its lifecycle.
No because the 3DS has practically peaked already.

Wii U could go either way. If 3D World, Mario Kart, and other exclusives don't help sales much, then Wii U should do about 10 million. If they revive the Wii U, it could get to 50-60 millon if the games come out at a decent speed.
3DS should get to 100 million. Think about it, phones and tablets are already taking over, yet 3DS has sold 36 million in almost 3 years. If the handheld market is going to die because of smartphones, then It's going to happen when they're powerful enough to play full blown AAA games.
By the way, Wii wasn't replaced early. It was replaced after 6 years. That's pretty normal. PS3 and 360 just had longer lives.
