I'm honestly still predicting the Wii U as second place in many markets. With the PS4 sales in Japan soon to kill off the Wii U's future potential over there, it needs to have a solid player base already. Luckily it does, but it could do with being higher. What I feel will be the testing ground for the Wii U though, is interestingly enough Europe. People dismiss it as "Nintendo's worst region", but with Microsoft effectively loosing Europe entirely and the PS4 and Xone being very similar in gaming experience, the Wii U is likely to take up residence as "default second console". People may go for the PS4 as their first choice, but come mid 2015 I can see a future of consistent sales as people start to come to the realisation that Nintendo have a lot of exclusives that are really worth checking out.
I don't think the Xone will outperform the Wii U, whilst there's an underperformace for the Wii U present, Nintendo brand recognition and loyalty will bring people back slowly. Microsoft has a lot less of that to offer. There's Halo and..... well just Halo.
