Probably. I won't rule out Zelda since it's high points are higher than Uncharted and even it's odd ones sell well. But Uncharted will have an advantage in install base that will be hard to overcome. If the install bases were equal, I would say it would be a very close match actually. But it's not a shoe-in necessarily. Depends on a lot of factors, particularly hype, marketing, etc. Nintendo is on an upward trend with their image and perception, so if they continue to build that throughout next year and have a stellar E3, that could make a big difference. Their late year release schedule definitely targets a more
"core" (for lack of a better word) audience with Devil's Third, Star Fox, Xenoblade Chronicles X, and Zelda. If they can generate big hype for these (Devil's Third is a longshot probably but not gonna rule it out) games - especially Xenoblade and Zelda - and also build hype for other core franchises (Metroid, Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem, maybe even F-Zero), they could really tee up Zelda to have very strong sales both on the current install base and on new comers drawn in by these new titles. That's a major thing they should focus on next E3: the games they have coming in the second half of the year and the likely the games they will announce for 2016 are flashy and can put on a great show (in other words, marketable); they need to use that to it's fullest effect.
As for what Sony can do, not much but what they are doing :P . They're already pretty much at full power while Nintendo is still improving. So the ball really is in Nintendo's court as far as this goes.
