Well, with Wii U looking to release towards the end of 2012, PS4 and nextbox might be making us wait longer despite the rumours floatiing around. So, are there chances that Wii U could be the third HD twin, for  the moment atleast with better hardware?

Well yes, but then the NES, SNES, PS1 and PS2 competed quite well against their respective next-gen consoles. True following history would suggest that the Wii should be the one to compete against the newbies, but this gen has been a bit odd and the combined force of PS3 & 360 has become the end of gen sales power.

I would guess that PS3 + 360 will be able to compete against the WiiU and win for most of the first year, then their drop off will depend on what MS and Sony plan, I am doubtful both will wait more than 1 year after WiiU to release, in fact I am doubtful even 1 of the pair will wait much more than a year. The WiiU's success will depend more on itself than the PS360 downfall though, if it is to be a success then it will likely be thrashing PS3+360 combined sales by or just after Christmas 2013.

Also twin implies two... you can't have a third twin.

Ps4 and nextbox will release in late 2013 is my guess.

PS3 and 360 are competing against the Wii and they are trying to close down the 30+ million sales gap.
PS4 and NextBox will be directly competing against the Wii U and try and close down a year's head start in sales.

Around the house,  let's call it The Third Twin.

It still makes me wonder why Capcom hasn't mentioned Resident Evil 6 on Wii U yet...

That's simply because it hasn't been announced yet. As far as we know they might even change the name to Wii 2 or NES 3 or whatever. And given recent support from Capcom, that title should be released.

Well it's still months from release.... but more importantly Capcom hasn't put out a new IP point and click adventure, a REmake and 2 on rail shooters, only then will they decide if they want to make a proper new Resident Evil for Nintendo.

If there's three of you, you can't be a twin.

It would make you a triplet.
