Wayland has almost the entire FOSS apparatus behind it and a significant amount of commercial support. Most major distributions other than Ubuntu have committed to using it, as have almost all of the major desktop environments besides Unity. Almost no one in the business world uses Ubuntu and instead use RHEL and SUSE, meaning that the business sector is going to end up using Wayland, and that is where the money is. And, as Wayland is the approved successor to X backed by Xorg, it is also the safer choice for businesses worried about change.
So I do not think the battle, if you will permit the term, is so heavily weighted towards Mir as you might think.
