I honestly don't know if Wii U + Vita *combined* can get to 50 mill to be honest. Right now it doesn't look good. At all.
These are devices that have very vocal fanbases on message boards like this that make a lot of noise, but in actuality have a fairly niche demographic in the modern world of consumer electronics.
105 million - PS4
95 million - 3DS
70 million - XB1
27 million - Wii U
20 million - Vita
Are my guesses right now.
If Wii U and Vita are going to put up these numbers that some people are throwing around NOW is put up or shut up time. We need to see impressive hardware sales for November, and I'm not talking about "oh it increased so that's good!". Wii U's gotta crush the GameCube's 2nd November numbers (468k) for me to believe its really going to turn this thing around.
Should be no excuses now with Mario 3D World, NSMBU, Pikmin 3, W101, Sonic: Lost World, Zelda: WWHD, Wii Party U, Wii Fit U, Wii Sports Club, Just Dance 2014, a $50 price drop, a Mario/Luigi bundle, a Zelda bundle, etc. Lets see actual results and stop with the excuses.
I suspect the excuse once this holiday is over is going to switch to "no buys a console just for a Mario platformer or two! Who ever said that is crazy! Obviously people are waiting for Mario Kart and Smash, ok!?".
