I'll do my predictions:

Kirby: 180k
Wii U: 30k

Not confident about either. I don't know how Kirby's usually sell in Japan.
 
The only big third party game that PS4 will miss out on compared to ps2 gen is DQ. The only way I see JP devs ever focusing back on consoles is if software saes improve significantly and of course if PS4 sells well.

Wii U will probably sell less than 20k.

I'm pretty sure we will see PS4 versions of DQX and MHF.

As for console revival, just look at PS3/PSV multis, even though PSV is bombing, multi platform releases always sell well on the platform, people in Japan love them handhelds.

I'll throw my hat in with 175k for Kirby and 28k for the Wii U.

Edit: Vita, fuck knows. I'll guess 32k but brace myself in case it's lower.

Sony should advertise playstation+ more. It's fucking amazing! It could potentially move vitas if people I knew how great it is.
 
Well, recent comments about PS4 could be lead in that direction, but in any case:
big production were still on home console last gen, thanks to PS360 success in the West.
mid-tier games for Japan crowd will probably still be split among 3DS, PS4/Vita, depending on the actual success that PS4 can face in that market

I agree, midtier is up in the air and will be crucial to reach and/or pass PS3.

I wonder how long the PS3 will sell software and where the userbase will go once it stops. Vita probably won't happen and PS3 owners won't suddenly stop wanting console games but I don't really see the PS4 in such a great position either. Time will tell I guess.

People own PS3s and will own PS4s. I don't think they don't know about PS+ :p

So, do famitsu still release that big list of the top selling games of 2013?

You know the one with like 100 games?

Any idea when it normally comes out?
