Considering today's market, 95m for 3DS is actually very good. I'd be happy if it passes the GBA.

35m for WiiU isn't good, though. I'm sure it would still end up a profitable endeavor for Nintendo, but I'm hoping for somewhere between SNES and NES numbers.

Nintendo can still make lots of money even with 35m consoles sold. 

Sony on the other hand wouldn't be able to make any profit or maybe a tiny profit with 35m sold. 

And?

GC sold like crap, XBOX too, N64 a little better but bad too.

35m is bad for any console... any... profit or loss... it is a fail sell only 35m.

nitendo is doing fine,I don't know why people worry so much.

the 3ds certainly wouldnt be. the WiiU would kind of be yes

As long as both consoles turns a profit that's good, and could be seen as successes. But as far as market shares goes it all depends. Say that 35m Wii U's is about 30% of the market that would be a success (but an overall fail for the whole industry), but if 35m is 15% of the market... that would be kind of sad.

But ask youself what's better; to sell 35m and make a profit or sell 100m and lose money... so the answer to this question isn't as black and white as people make it out to be.

And the same logic goes for the 3DS. 95m is good if that's like 75% of the market - but it would still be a failure for the industry as a whole, since it failed to expand or maintain the market.

I think we as gamers and as an industry must come to terms with the possibility that this gen might be the greatest failure since the game crash in the 80's.

95m 3DS: Not DS levels but very successful.
35m WiiU: Alright compared to, say, 22m GC, but disappointing.

Im pretty sure the same thing will happen with all next gen consoles. Its getting harder to convince the average consumer to purchase new hardware.

I think it's more the problem of what that new hardware offers. A console that only plays games will become harder and harder to sell. A console that has unique or a substantial amount of useful features besides playing games will be easier to sell than a game-only console. People want more and more for less.

You're predictions are fairly reasonable. I wouldn't expect more than a hundred million out of the 3DS either, and I think it would still be considered pretty successful, even if it doesn't live up to the DS.

The Wii U would certainly be a disappointment at that level. I think it will do better than that, more like the PS3/360 of this generation, only profitable because Nintendo has better software than competitors and does a better job controlling costs. As weak as it seems, the Wii U does seem to actually be getting better 3rd party support than the Wii, although Nintendo hasn't managed to craft a breakout system seller for it yet.
