I basically took the last year data and extrapolated it to this year. 3DS will have a boost with Pokemon X/Y, but I think PS4 and One will impact it too, since they will steal a lot of the momentum of other 8th gen consoles. 3DS, Wii U and Vita should take a hit, because they are still being bought by early adopters or mid-end gamers. PS3, 360 and Wii won't be so hardly affected, since they are currently targeted at the low end gamer and this one simply won't buy a 8th gen console until, at least, the mid of the gen.
About Vita vs. Wii U, my bet is on Vita. Both got a price cut, but Vita's actually passed the magical US$ 200 barrier. PS4 remote play should drive some sales too. The price cut in Japan combined with games focused on the japanese public generated good sales there. Now they did a price cut combined with some western games (Killzone, Tearaway). Wii U got a price cut, but its competition is the PS4 and One. In this case, I think that, even with a price cut, it will suffer badly because of the competition. Vita is doing a little better than Wii U, but you have to consider that Vita already have its 8th gen competitor. Wii U is basically alone in the market, so this hollydays will probably be downhill (limited by the avaiability of PS4 and One. Probably next year will be harsher).
