I don't think Sony will profit (PS3 is down, PSP is down, PS2 is down, PSVita is a flop, the Yen is strong, US holiday sales dropped, Japan is back in a recession, etc etc), but Nintendo's margins should also be helped a bit by having major titles available online now.
My guess is:
Wii U software is below expectations by about 10-20% in the West...unless online sales are very good.
Wii software is about at expectations, hardware probably about right too (2-3m holiday quarter, holiday quarter = 1/2 the fiscal year)
DS software is about at expectations, hardware about right.
Wii U hardware is probably below expectations in the US and a bit above in Japan, with Europe getting screwed in the process..probably a bit lower than expected overall, say 10%.
It looks like 2013 will set up for a very strong Nintendo year in Japan - 3DS at 6m could happen, and Wii U will probably do like 2-3m. PS3 & PSP will be down to well under 1m, with Wii hanging around at maybe two hundred thousand too.
