PS4 and by a large margin. I don't agree with OP points favouring Wii U.

Points 1, 2 and 4 are all the same and are base of flawed logic. N64 audience =/= Wii U audience. Those who own both platforms (Wii U+PS4, presumably a fair portion of Wii U owners by the time this game is out) will mostly go for the PS4 version due to better graphics/performance.

3. Nintendo fans buy Mario like crack*, lets not ignore how mediocre knack has outsold every non mario platformer on Wii U. If anything the abunance of quality exclusive platformers on Wii U versus the PS4 will work in the PS4's favour.

The fact that a late release of Rayman Legends on PS4 > the original, hyped Wii U release should be clear enough indication that PS4 will take the sales crown easily.

It's not like there are many non mario platformers on wii u but knack was heavily bundled and advertised. Rayman sells with legs and ps4's base increased a lot, leading to higher rayman sales. Wii U remains the platform with the highest attach ratio for the game.

Rayman Origins and Need for Speed had the highest attach ratio on PSVita, but that doesn't mean best selling. High attach ratio's are common for systems with smaller userbase and fewer retail releases. 

Knack was also a terrible game which should have sold less and hasn't had any legs but I agree there are no perfect comparisons and the best is Rayman Legends because its a platformer with a mostly core audience, unlike licensed titles (lego Marvel+Batman which sold best on PS4) or those toy collection games marketed at under 10s (skylanders/disney infitey that sold best on Wii U). Yooka Laylee is a download only title and hyped by nostagia from an 18 year old game, its main demographic will be adults. And all (decent) platformers sell with legs so I don't see that as an actual argument just more reason for the PS4 to be the highest selling, LBP3 opened with 80k on PS4 and now is past 1m. And again PS4 version of Legends had lots going against, it was released on 4 other platforms 5months before it was released on PS4, yet still sold better, how can we ignore that? But Again, no perfect comparison so I'll just agree to sit and wait
