I somewhat agree. However, you mentioned games, but unless you are a big fan of MS first party games, there's no need for you to buy a Xbone because all the other games will be available for the PS4 and PC (and who knows maybe some games will come to the Wii U). If you have the option to play those games without any of this DRM and "no used games" things, then gamers will go to that option that doesn't have this pay-walls.
If what I said above does become true, that means the majority of the Xbone owners will be the MS fanbase. And oin all honesty, I think the Xbone has two options:
1) It will become the next GC by only gathering, in this case, the fans of Halo, Forza, etc.
2) Or it could become the next Wii, big with "casuals", but not that hot with the "hardcore" gamers.

Well, wait. Let's wait for E3 to see those 15 exclusive games.

Maybe, but unless they have THE biggest E3 ever (and I'm talking FF Versus XIII exclusive level of big) then the fanbase will remain the same.
New first party IPs usually don't gather any new customers, the people that play a new IP from "x" first party company are the current fanbase. So, unless the exclusive games come from extremely big franchises (FF, GTA, CoD, Mass Effect, etc) then nothing that I said above will change.

When FF 13 got announced for the 360 the only people that cared were the fanboys. The general 360 demographic probably didnt care at all, cause if they wanted FF 13 they would have bought a ps3. So the fanbase wont change if something like that happened again.
Saying new Ip's wont get new customers is just simply not true. Gears got people to buy the 360, and Halo got people to buy the Xbox.
