They could probably release a tablet with the specs of the Wii-U by 2015, wich is what i expect them to do. This would also mean developers will start to use the Wii-U current tablet controller a lot more. Tablet's like the Asus T100 are already very close in power compared to the Wii-U only lacking in graphical power, and that only costs $350 with a keyboard dock.

Though since i'm not sure that the PowerPC architecture is really usable for a mobile platform, it's also possible that they release a tablet with different hardware but that would mean Wii-U is left out to dry.

In fact they could simply launch it as a redesign of the Wii-U.

I agree with the tablet part, but I think the Wii/Wii U brand is going to be sent to pasture as soon as they can get rid of it. It's clearly worn out its sales appeal and at this point may be a negative more than it is an asset. 

Yes the Wii-U as we know it would be replaced entirely offcourse, but by making sure new games also work on Wii-U systems already sold(wich will probably be atleast 10m+ by that time) they won't have to leace loyal customers in the dry.
