Its up to Nintendo. If they promote it right and keep making great games then I think it can.

Actually even on a 20 million install base Nintendo games sell well. Mario Sunshine, Mario Kart and Smash Bros each sold 6-7 million, Animal Crossing, Wind Waker and Luigi's Mansion sold 3-5 million each along with a bunch of 1-3 million sellers.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
The GameCube had "modest" sales? I would call those bad.
Now, if you asked if Wii U might be able to achieve "bad" sales instead of "terrible" sales I might say yes. It'll be a huge struggle, though.

idk if you mean 20-25M then yeah its possible to achieve that as i and a few other at this time have it pegged to sell 17-20M as of today but anything over 25M than im gonna say impossible

At this point they should just focus on profits, meaning no pricecut for a good while and less excessive bundling. Nintendo's shown signs of this possibly being their gameplan as there's no price cut to go along with MK8 and while there is a bundle, it's selling for more than it normally would.
Depends how much Mario Kart 8 takes off. If they advertise the crap out of it and distinguish it as a must-have sequel, sales may take off to Gamecube-levels.
Wii and Wii U were both powerhouses, until Microsoft and Sony (both makers of computers) released the much stronger PS3/PS4 and XB360/XB1.
