I think 20 million is a possibility.

He's commenting on how PS4/XONE will have a large selection of other titles coming out. Both sides seem to have really weak exclusive IPs (LBP3/Driveclub for PS4...Sunset/Forza/Halo for XONE), but has a large lineup outside of their own even though the games are fairly conservative (filled with sequels and only a few original IPs like Evolve, Destiny, and The Evil Within).

There's no doubt in mind that the games he listed will at least sell respectively well (LBP3 and Evolve) to very, very well (Destiny). As strong as Nintendo's software lineup is, they can't push hardware alone. Do their games push a lot of hardware? Yeah, of course. Enough to justify a console to be a financial success? Nope. I still believe 2014 will be Nintendo's biggest year with Smash and MK8. 2015 will be interesting however. Lots of quality titles coming out, albiet less popular franchises.

It's not even close to the GameCube and won't be even with the MK8 bump, there's no chance it's sniffing N64 numbers unless Amiibo and/or Splatoon become legitimate Pokemon-style phenoms IMO (not just "hits", but industry changing blockbusters). 

Sales of their consoles haven't exactly been great since the SNES either besides the Wii, which was a huge fad.

Well all of Nintendo's consoles besides the Wii had 5 year lifespans it seems so it doesn't have 4-5 years. It has 3 max.

Hasn't t the Xbox 1 sold over 300,000 more units than the Wii u year to date?   That would be a decreasing gap not increasing 

It could but I highly doubt it. I agree with a lot of people that say this will be the peak year for wii u not next year. The Wii U has been sitting at 6.17, or 6.18, million shipped since March. According to VGChartz it has sold 6.7 million LTD, I won't take that as gospel personally, so it's barely moved a few hundred thousand in 4 months. I don't expect a huge amount more to be sold until smash comes out. After that, I don't see it selling 6 million a year for the next 3 years and I see it being replaced in 2016 anyways.

I agree on the price cut. I read what was the initial estimated cost of production for each unit and if memory serves it was like $228. That was 2012. I am guessing that figure has had to come down a bit since. Imagine an October price cut of $100 then Smas Bros. I would bet ANYTHING that would put them back on the playing field for real! Look what it did for 3DS!! It would undoubtedly signal that Nintendo is pulling out all the stops to compete. The inverse is if they don't you may have  wonder if they don't think it truly will ever fully compete. They will ride it out at current pricing getting as much return as they can. I already own it so it won't mean a lower price for me, but I want to see a true valiant effort. It looks like they are doing all they can with games and amiibo, but all that coupled with a huge statement price lowering like $100 would be enormous. $199 to parents and grandparents next to $399 would be insanely hard to resist. 

PLEASE NINTENDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It seems to me 25 million is really optimistic, that's more than Gamecube and the Wii U isn't even close to Gamecube. 15-18 million maybe? Hard to say beyond that. Maybe 20.

MK8 makes me rage like no other. It is not a well balanced game. I also hate myself for spending 100 bucks on fucking controllers to play it. I just...that game is a mess for me. Idk.

DK: Jungle Beat is not a real DK game. There hasn't been a real DK game since 1999. Edit: DKC Returns notwithstanding.
