Let's also not forget that the Wii U will have a worldwide price cut and a much better library when each system releases.

This isn't necessarily true. If the PS4 has Gaikai running and 720 has backwards compatibilty then they might be able to leverage that.

Your forgetting that Nintendo will have it's Virtual Console fully up and running with significant back catalog of games by that time (indie games should be quite more substantial by that time as well), Not to mention whatever AAA titles they release against the launch of PS4/720.

You're right, I didn't think of the Virtual Console. I never actually used it on the Wii so I'm not really sure how big it is. Is it the equivalent of the stores on PS360? I would think that the biggest factor by far will be the AAA titles you mention.

I believe that Wiiware and VC combined were doing fairly well for the first several years (http://ca.ign.com/articles/2010/02/23/wiiware-virtual-console-sales-exposed) but I'n not sure where to find out any other sales figures for any other given year.
