50 mil is still certainly possible.

What if next year instead of announcing a new system they announce a new add on that revolutionizes the way we play games and brings aboard casuals and the core alike?

Like Kinect?

Or even the balance board to a lesser extent.

The Wii U will likely sell 25 million in its lifetime. The Vita will sell 40-50 million in its lifetime, because Sony will not give up on it. I mean, look at the original PSP. Its still selling hundreads of thousands of units over a decade after it launched. As for the PS3, it got off to a rocky start but has been unstoppable in the last 2-3 years. At this pace, it will outsell the Wii in 15 months. I think lifetime sales will end up in the 110-120 million range. Regarding the PS4, it will surpass the Wii U in mid Februrary. Face it: Sony has, and always will be the undisputed champion when it comes to the Console Wars. As for handhelds, Nintendo still reigns supreme.

 you can talk up Smash Bros, Mario Kart etc. but how well did GCN sell. 

About double what it would have sold without Mario Kart or Smash.

SO WiiU LTD is 10M??? Great prediction.

ah the NO GAEMZ, both Vita and WiiU are stuck with that for life no matter how many amazing games they recieve =(

Yeah, that label is very, very hard to wash off once it sticks, sadly.

PS3 took good 3 years to do it... Even tough I bought mine middle 2009 and had already a lot of games bought together I still listened it here in 2010-11.
