Which will go under 20k a week first? WiiU or XB1?

None. Even with it's horrible year in 2013, it only dipped below 20k once. And it was in june. This year, there's mario kart 8 and donkey kong for the first half of 2014. And I just can't see xbox one dipping below 20k.

What did WiiU have between February and late May last year (I'm not sure).

Do you not see a drought second year running really badly affecting sales?

Last year, wiiU had basically no major game releases from Jan to july. There were a couple third party games which all bombed, lego city (which was also released on 3ds) and that wario game (which also bombed). 

Basically, no significant releases in the first half of 2013. Mario kart 8 alone will provide a much bigger boost then all of these games that I mentioned combined. There is also DK which should do very well here in the Americas and should also do decently in Europe. 

To answer to your second question, yes, that 3month drought will affect sales but not enough to make the system dip below 20k. I predict that 25k-30k will be the worst week for wiiU in 2014.
