Since they launched mid-November... I kinda just round off and call it all the "first year".
WiiU is already close or above PS360 at this time in its life. (see my other thread)
It has many games coming between now and end of year... many we don't even know of yet.
PS360 only got around 7m out the door between their Nov launches and the end of the next full year.
WiiU will beat that and be around 10m.

Between March 24th and November 24th 2007 the PS3 did 3.96 million. Why do you expect the Wii U to do 7.2 million in the same time frame when it has been trailing far behind what the PS3 did in 2007? (543k for the Wii U and 1.443 million for the PS3).

See my linked thread in my sig. It has a comparison from launch to the same week. Even with two extra weeks in PS3s total to date, WiiU is still ahead in sales. So this idea that WiiU is trailing far behind anything but Wii is simply false. WiiU is still cumulitively ahead of PS360 with launches aligned by a good amount.
According to this very site, PS3's LTD at the end of 2007 was 9.2m. That's for the "first year" that I was referrencing above. So yes, I incorrectly said "about 7m" in regards to PS3 (I was just thinking of its 2007 only data, not 2006 launch plus 2007) and yes I do think WiiU will be around 10m by end of this year LTD.
WiiU is currently around 2.8m and with just a few games saw a ~100% increase in its weekly sales from 30k to 60k. Once the launch times passed in Nov and March, PS3 also dropped to about 60k a week (beginning of March and then in June respectively).
There are good games launching in Q2 leading to E3 where there will be a lot announced for Q3 and Q4. Some of which we don't even know about. Look at how Nintendo handled bundling and various sale prices for 3DS. WiiU will get that in Q3 and especially in Q4 with some big games like ZeldaWWHD.
2.8m now. Q2 and Q3 another 3m... 5.8. Then at least another 4m or more over holidays as WiiU has the competitive price advantage to the rest of next_gen and mostly the same games that look nearly identical.
So yes, WiiU will be around 10m by end of year.
