mmm no?
actually thats a good ratio for WiiU.
Means is gonna end around 30M

PS4 should outsell  WiiU by 4x or 5x every week and it would be normal

Between 3-4X for PS4 vs Wii U seems more plausible than 4-5. Sales should also fall closely to 1.5X (in favour of PS4) to almost even during the release of MK8 and for a few months following after that. Holidays however will put the sales gap back up to 3-3.5X, unless Nintendo pulls something magical out of their ass (Zelda U, Mario Galaxy 3)

Smash

Your right, they could release it during the holiday season, however, I believe it may end up prior to that which is why I didn't include it (I'm thinking end of August).

Nintendo gets a bigger boost than the other 2 companies during the holiday season, parents who may wait months until xmas to give their kid the console.

This year it looks like we will have Mario Kart in May, X and Bayonetta 2 in the middle, and Smash Bros before a few weeks before Holiday season. Mario 3D World was released in November 22 and had their best selling weeks in December if I recall correctly.
