The OP might have been, many of the responses weren't however. And many of them are hilariously wrong, and while we've all made some dodgy predictions over the years, the confidence and strength of belief of some of the crazier ones is funny. We are having fun, maybe you're the one missing out?

I can't PROVE you wrong at this point. But I also can't PROVE to you that aliens won't invade earth next week. Just both are pretty unlikely (you can decide which one you think is the most unlikely). The ps4 surpassed the wiiU in sales in about 4 months. Meaning the ps4 has averaged selling about 5 times better than the wiiU. The ps4 is winning is basically winning every territory. The wiiU is losing every. This week the ps4 sold about 5 times more. If you can give me any possible roadmap to how the wiiU will make up for this, I'd love to see it. So unless mario kart and super smash bros quadruple the sales of the wiiU, and those sales are sustained permanently, the wiiu is losing. Sorry, but I'm betting the wiiU gets discontinued. I love my psvita, but I'm not delusional about how well it's doing. I'm hoping that will be a minor success, but I can accept the fact that it's simply not going to beat the 3ds. Just like there is basically no chance the wiiU will beat either of it's competitors. There are currently to things the wiiU will possibly be seen as 15 years from now. Either a massive failure, or not quite a failure.

Hello??? Isnt making predictions what we do here? Has not having enough info about games or consoles ever stopped us from making predictions as to how long the gen will last, how consoles/games will do? What - do you expect us to wait until we have all the information (which will likely be right before a release) before we start making predictions? Dont be ridiculous. What you are guys are doing here is discouraging people from making predictions, especially if there is a risk they may not be be right. Its just dumb and pointless. 

Exactly. Some posters in this thread have said that its just a joke and not to be taken seriously but the tone of some of the threads seems to be that of rubbing the face of the OP, and some of the others who made wrong predictions, in the mud. Really, this thread is a waste of time. 

Wii U will do better if they give it a badly needed $100 price drop.

Hey, Sony did it with the PS3 so why can't Nintendo do it? But yeah, this just accentuates the parity of expectations vs. reality.

Well he was clearly wrong lol

Why can people have fun making bold predictions (and mock competitors) but we can't mock them for being completly fun? Each person have fun in a different way.

Yes.

For me PS4 will sold 120,000,000, and Wii U 45,000,000...

120,000,000-45,000,000=85,000,000...

5,000,000 or no, will sold much more.

Technically it says PS4 or 720. Since 720 doesn't exist, Wii U has a shot.
