I guess were pretending like the 3DS doesn't exist?


Home consoles only. I'm sure 3DS and PSV will both make money

Well SM3DW will give a nice boost to Wii U sales, but if you look at the upcoming big games on the Wii U almost all of them are coming out in 2014 so I expect the Wii U to really start picking up speed in 2014 with games like X, Batonetta, SSB, Mario Kart, Donkey Kong, Yoshi Yarn and I'm guessing Zelda U will be ready by holiday 2014.  Also Nintendo has a habit of announcing games and releasing them soon after in the same year so I expect a Nintendo direct in January with some newly revealed Wii U games that will come out later on in the year, of those games I expect Miyamoto's new IP.

There are really only two system sellers listed and that's SSB and Mario Kart. Do you honestly think casual gamers are going to upgrade from their wii just to play those if there are already on Wii? I'm not sure but I don't think they can justify spening 300 bucks to play Mario Kart if they can already play it with a more familiar controller. I highly doubt Zelda will be coming next year but that'd be cool if it did.

Donkey Kong is a system seller, Country on the Wii sold something like 6 million+ units and its a recognizable gaming figure that everyone knows.  Not every game has to be a huge system seller, if you look at Microsoft's 2014 lineup the only huge system seller is Halo 5, yes there is Quantum Break and stuff but that is hardly a huge system seller, with Nintendo having 3 big system sellers they are ahead of the competition.  Racing games like Mario Kart always tend to do well tbh, and I have to say Mario Kart 8 is more improved over its predecessor and has more gameplay additions than Gran Turismo 6 or Forza 5 so yes I think people will be willing to buy a Wii U over it.  Also Nintendo is the only one out of the big three to be coming out with any confirmed exclusive JRPGs in X and SMT x FE so that should help with the Japanese market, as far as I know all JRPGs on the PS4 can be bought on the PS3.
