A Fable collection?

I sincerely doubt we will see Zelda on the Wii U in 2015...

$250 X1 by then and I might pick one up.

Me too but until Nintendo says otherwize, I will mostly pretend it will still get released

If they leave it until late next year to 'come hard' I think it will be too late. The PS4 will have a huge lead by then (10m - 12m?) and Sony will just release bundle after bundle. Even if they blow everything they have before September, word of mouth will see them easily through Christmas 2015. I would say it's almost guaranteed that Sony will have a LBP3/RAC bundle and a The Order/Bloodborne bundle. I can also see them releasing a Driveclub Complete addition bundle with perhaps a couple of older games like Infamous: SS and TLOUR (again). MS need to do something much earlier than that.

I think the PS4 lead will be more like 13-15 million by then, and growing rapidly. 

They really need a true Zelda game(Hyrule Warriors does not count under any circumstance :P) or a true 3D Mario to help out with sales. I'm confident those two games will elevate hardware sales more than MK8 did. Has a successor to Mario Galaxy 2 been announced or shown? I don't personally consider Mario 3D world to be in the same vain as SM64, Sunshine and Galaxy but maybe Nintendo do. The issue that concerns me is if Ninendo do consider Mario 3D world to be a true successor, we may not see another 3D Mario game on the Wii U as we only got one 3d Mario on the N64 and GC because those consoles were not really successful. The Wii saw 2 full fledged 3d Mario games which I believe was due to the great hardware sales and large user base... Just my opinion...

It's not out of the question when you consider PS4s February lineup, but we really have no idea what MS has for the following months. I'd say they COULD slow the PS4 down a tad but not entirely. I'm playing it safe! I also think that The Witcher is likely to sell more PS4s simply because the people who buy consoles will look to justify their purchase and with The Order and Bloodborne to back that title up, it's more than likely IMO.

My thoughts, exactly.  Sony is going to be having several big releases throughout the year, and that's not even counting the 2-3 unannounced exclusives from some of their larger studios, some of which may see a mid-2015 launch.  If MS is going to wait til holidays, when some of their smaller titles will get hidden behind the bigger multiplats dropping around then, they might as well pack up their bags.  It's going to be even worse when you think that Sony will 100% be dropping the price officially next year.  Is MS really going to be able to compete with a $299-$349 PS4?  Don't think so.

I'm in serious danger of developing high blood pressure with all these grains of salt I'm being told to consume.
