The Dreamcast was selling fine while it was going, it was Sega that couldn't afford to support it any longer.
The Wii U is selling low but it is still selling consistently each month 70-80k in the US....it's not good but people are slowing buying it. After the Wii U's 5 year life, it will should have over 20 million consoles sold similar to what Gamecube did.
Let's be generous and say WiiU is selling 150 000 per month Worldwide (80k North America / 30k Japan / 40k EU). That is just 1.8 million per year, let's be generous and call it 2.5 million per year with the Holiday bumps added in.
WiiU has currently sold around 5 million units. Add on 2.5 million per year for the next four years and it will finish on 15 million units and that is the best case scenario. It could be much worse than that when Nintendo all but stops support in late 2015 when their developers are concentrating on making games / experiences for the new handheld and QoL.
Gamecube numbers look way out of reach at this point...
