GTA V, though the exact release is date not yet confirmed by Rockstar. So before E3, there's a chance it would make through feb -March.

People here must be too naive to think about PS360 price cut with so many exclusives and multiplats coming this year, I don't see any price cut until 4Q13.
As I said before, Japan cannot carry the Wii U to 4M by end of March, so your prediction is in line with my thoughts. Trend will continue, PS3 will do this with relative ease. Look at Wii U numbers in USA, should be way higher than Japan. It's half Japan last week.

A 3rd party game and an a weak new IP? I don't think so.... Just look at Pikmin 1 and 2 sales for Gamecube.
The franchise declined even further during the Wii era.

I agree, considering its previous games, Pikmin is far from being a system seller.

Thankfully PS3 still has Europe. Can't say the same for WiiU unfortunately (or fortunately for my prediction |
Still, I don't see why you think that the NPD numbers make your prediction more likely.
I mean, before NPD, going by VGC, we expected PS3 to do 50%, or ~340k better than WiiU during December, which would have been great for your prediction. Now, though, we know that PS3 did only ~35% - in the range of a mere 150k - better than WiiU. If anything, this makes your prediction much less likely.
Sure, you can say that PS3 has Europe. But PS3 already had Europe before NPD, didn't it? It's not as if the US was going to be WiiU's saviour here; it was going to get thrashed in the US before and it only end up getting beaten. All NPD did was make your prediction even more probable.
In fact, I'd even argue that, since we now know that WiiU is doing better relative to PS3 in US than we thought, there's a good chance that the same thing's happening in Europe, so PS3 may not even achieve your goal there. This is a bit of a stretch, though.
Regardless, I really don't see why NPD prompted you to try to sell this prediction further.

But you're not predicting WiiU sales. You're predicting PS3 vs WiiU sales. As such, worse PS3 sales trump bad WiiU sales, making your prediction not as probable as before.
And I'm quite aware you weren't predecting December sales. I'm just noticing that Dec sales inexplicably prompted you to have more confidence in this prediction.

I can't believe 23 people think Wii U will double PS3 sales through June 7th. What planet are these people from?

Nintendoland (Failure to have reading comprehension.)
This won't happen by a long shot, but a 30-50% increase is likely.
