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.

bolded 1: so NOW the comments about 3ds being outsold by ds an psp didn't exist? and vita isn't from 3ds generation? what generation is it then?
let me tell the similarities straight: Both 3ds and wii u were selling bad at a time neither had system selling games. that means their sales from that period are irrelevant to judge the consoles sucess. Also in both cases, haters kept saying when vita/ps4/xone are released they wouldn't stand a chance since they were already struggling without competition, then the 3ds proved all the crap wrong. vita got released and didn't affect 3ds sales wich went skyhigh thanks to (omg who would have guessed) GAMES.
Wii u is getting it's games this second half of 2013 as the expensive competition comes. I bet on wii u on that fight.
