Kinda hard to say, I'll say they'll sell a million consoles before the year is out.

How good will the WiiU do in the first half of 2013? | |||
| always outsold (like Wii) | 19 | 18.45% | |
| sell as much as PS3 and XBOX 360 combined | 17 | 16.50% | |
| sell as much as PS3 and XBOX 360 individually | 26 | 25.24% | |
| sell worse than PS3 and XBOX360 | 27 | 26.21% | |
| don't know, don't care | 14 | 13.59% | |
| Total: | 103 | ||

Hard to say, but I don't expect incredible numbers and certainly nothing like the Wii. It should outsell the PS3 and 360 individually simply on the basis of being something new and somewhat different but it will struggle to become and remain relevant in this market, its sort of set up to fall inbetween the chairs that are the handheld market, the tablet market and the more tech crazed console/PC market segment.
I do not see great things in the WiiU's future and I fully expect it to sell less than both the PS3 and 360 lifetime. In fact; with the market being what it is and moving so fast and branching out, it could end up at around 50-60 million lifetime, about half of the Wii's final tally.

50 million lifetime is very reasonable, I predicted already it would do at least that. It may do more, if Nintendo plays its cards right and the competition fails.
Until we know the price and launch titles, it's too early. But I predict better than the 360, but worse than the Wii.
I don't see it being that huge a hit, there's nowhere near as much hype for it as the Wii or even 3DS. None of the game are very captivating for me, a bunch of ports, a minigame compilation, another 2D Mario rehash, and a karaoke game. Meh, if the PS3 and 360 have a price cut right around the WiiU launch then I think the HD twins will be able to surpass it holiday season.
Sigs are dumb. And so are you!
Price, official launch line-up, and consumer market appeal will let us really know.
So, so far it's not going to sell nearly as well as the Wii.

Didn't 360 do better than Wii at first?

It was out first. The 360 never outsold the Wii after the Wii launched.
