That's a rather... wide margin.

The main reason why the gap is large (100% to be intact) is that we still don't know how the market will split between the Nintendo & Hardcore Consoles (PS4 + XB1). Last Gen, it was 60% to 40%. This gen, I am expecting to be between 80-20 or 90-10, and this 10-20% is what makes the range vary. The wildcart here is

a) How influential / gimmicky is the WiiU Gamepad is

b) How Japan reacts to WiiU vs PS4 dilemma

Things should be a lot clearer at the end of this year, or possibly even earlier, sometime after the PS4 release in Japan.
