Nintendo have stated in their recent shareholder meeting that they originally expected the Wii U to sell over 100 million units. The company has admitted that these expectations were largely based on the Wii doing so well sales wise, which they expected to continue to the Wii U.

Currently, the Wii U has sold just under 13 million units which is far below both the PS4 and Xbox One. Nintendo are not long away from announcing their next project, The Nintendo NX.
