I predict 2015... but I don't know if it will STAY ahead.

Just out of curiousity, what would cause Wii U to repass PS4 in 2015 or later?

An early 2015 release for LoZ-U, followed by a summer release for a Metroid, with a Mario Galaxy release in-between. But Nintendo would need to find some way to maintain that pace afterwards.

Well by that time there will already be 2D Mario out for 2-3 years and 3D Mario out for 1-2 years so its very likely a large percentage of Mario fans will already be on Wii U and Galaxy 3 would sell primarily to people who already own a Wii U.

Also Metroid typically sells 1.5m give or take a few 100k, the original and Prime 1 are the only to pass 2m so Metroid isnt likely to push alot of hardware.

As for Zelda its possible that it boosts hardware but I highly doubt it will more than Donkey Kong/Mario Kart/Smash Bros which are all just as big or bigger than Zelda and all releasing this year.
