Do you honestly think the WiiU will destroy the XOne next year?  I think you are being way too kind in your WiiU predictions.  This is very unlikely based on current and past WiiU sales trend (and current Xone trends for that matter).  

The one will have to big of a drop from the lack of exclusives coming. The ps4 will eat most of its sells. Ater halo;mmc all die hard fans will already have the console and sales will plumet begining next year. Nintendo will not do gangbuster but it will increase a bit and it will be enough to outsell the x1.

So what will give the WiiU the increase u talk about? Past trends are dismal.  WiiU was out almost 18 months earlier than the One and the One will have already caught up by most likely the end of this year.  Even during periods without excusives the One was performing better than the U.  Also, the One's lowest point in sales was considerably higher than the U's lowest point.  Sorry but I dont understand what your prediction is based on.  Again current and past trends (excusives aside) tell a different picture.  Oh and I am sure there will be significant game annoucements closer to 2015. I realy cannot see how WiiU is going to be able to compete with XboxOne moving forward.

Sure, if we ignore the wii u had no third party support and the x1 did and nintendo brought so very few games for those 18 months you could say that. But fact is as shown by E3 that nintendo is bringing a lot more next year. Then later they said they are planing one game every month. Whyle the x1 has zero games coming untill the later half of next year. Third party will be great and all, but who is picking an x1 over the ps4 for only third party multyplats? fanboys and multy console owners. Most famboys will be done by the time MCC comes and multy console owners wont come fast enough without exclusives to drive them so if they dind do it by the time sunset and MMC came then they will wait for quantom and halo 5.
