I agree with this for the first (max 2) years on the the market, after that publishers and devs will move on completely to the PS4 ad the 720. There's absolutely no doubt the next Call of Duty is going to be on the 360 and PS3 (with a port to the new consoles) so those players won't jump to the new consoles, even less if they cost $400+.
The problem about first parties is that it will only attract the fans of the company, and those people are the ones who are going to buy the console anyway (regardless of the first party tittles). People are talking thrash about the Wii U sales (which they are honestly) but I expect the new consoles to have similar numbers at first.

If it sells as badly as Wii U has for those first two years (and Wii U actually had two big exclusive games as well as a big reason to buy the hardware), I do wonder whether the market will just ditch both and go back to PS3/360.

It's a difficult decision for 3rd parties to just ignore a 140m install base. MS and Sony won't let 3rd parties to just ditch their new consoles in favor to the PS3/360, lots of money will be wasted for that not to happen, although given development cost, I expect this next gen transition to be longer than previous gens (even with the moneyhat).
