Nintendo is silent for a reason

The big thing is, MS and Sony will have games for launch obviously... , we know 3rd parties will be working for titles on launch, and then there will be games that will be teased. Thats ALOT for people to think about.

The difference is that there will be 2 console companies pushing very hard to get people to buy their console and 3rd parties will be doing the same (because they know they probably wont sell many games on the Wii-U)... Thats alot pushing for a Sony/MS buy, compared to at the moment, Nintendo. So Nintendo *might* have games by the end of the year, but they are going to have to be big hitters to compete with three parties all pushing for next gen. It doesnt help Nintendo that there will also be the cheaper current gen consoles still getting releases and selling at a cheaper rate.

True, but the current gen consoles will be getting phased out by PS720 launch, so they no longer pose a threat at that contention point, amiright?

no, GTA5 will still be a major selling point for the PS360 like GTA SA was for the PS2.  But I think that will be more of a problem for the Wii U since Nintendo will most likely try to match its Wii U price to current console pricing, which is going to be a big mistake.
