OP: You assume much, I don't think anyone can say they have this in the bag. However, as things stand right now, Nintendo is unlikely to pose a threat in the 8th gen and Microsofts relevance outside of North America will be paramount to deciding the outcome of the 8th gen. Japan is a lost cause, MS needs Europe.
North America is more than likely to be conquered by the One, regardless of whining about DRM, always online and other aspects of the console people seem to dislike.
I think it will be a really even race between the One and the PS4, if the TV dedication of the Ones hardware and online falls flat, MS has serious issues to deal with, especially in Europe, if it's a great success (cue Borat voice) then Sony has serious issues.
Hard to say. But the PS4 has won nothing, for now there two unknowns in future competition and one known that seems to practically be out of the race already, it's way beyond me why some people imagine that the PS4 and One will somehow help Nintendo get more sales, if anything, they'll be left dealing with the PS360 at their rear and a tough frontal assault from the PS4/One combo, tough times ahead for Nintendo, possibly even worse than they are now.

like the 3ds was out of the race?

First off; the 3DS never had anyone to race against, let alone two generations at once, and secondly; I've written so many posts on the differences of the 3DS and Wii U situation, I simply can't be arsed to do it again.
I could dig up a previous post if you insist though, the comparison is straight up silly and holds no merit.
I also find it somewhat strange that you chose one sentence out of the whole post to get hung up on and left out the rest.
