Headline is a little misleading. the article says "in 2014". So if those console are only launching in 2014, then of course WII u will be king, as it launched roughly 1-2 years earlier, and the others just launched.

@internet ...really? I thought places like UK and Europe didn't care for Nintendo thanks to the NES days

@LegendofSantiago
France has a population of 62M+, Wii U only selling 1M+ is not good.

Though I'll take Europe and the UK over Canada any day of the week.
(Yes UK doesn't count itself as Europe)

@M1 Well, i don't think the majority of the population is into gaming, and of those interested in gaming i'm sure a lot of them don't care much about Nintendo. They do expect them to sell better than the ps4 and the 720 during the same time frame so that seems good

Europe is Sony land, except for UK/Ireland which is Microsoft land.

I don't like good forecasts. It gets me worried since the opposite usually comes true.

That being said, at least one of the consoles is supposed to launch in 2013. These forecasts, a knowing what sells where. Gives more credence to the prediction that Sony will be late to the game.
