I apologize for the miscommunication. The biggest factor this gen dispute what people are saying will be the price of the consoles. All three are going to have to work really hard to drive that down throughout this gen if they want any kind of mass market penetration. I believe price was a huge factor for the original wii on top of the great way the marketed the motion tech. I think if at all possible you could get more than one system this gen, you should that way you don't miss out on any great games.

No problem, partially my fault as well.
To me there are 3 things that a system needs to get right in order to sell well, games, price and marketing. Wii U is selling badly becuase currently its failing at all three of those things, its had the longest drought in gaming history, is the most expensive console on the market and they aremt marketing becuase there are no games to market. Later this year and next they will have fixed all those problems I see them doing very well.
PS4/One will have marketing down but games+price will be an issue. I see them both having a great launch due to diehard fans but next year when the launch hype dies down I see them having a bit of a slump (not as bad as Wii U slump). 3/4 games released on those consoles will be on up to 6 consoles, PS4/One/PS3/360/WiiU/PC, so that means its exclusive games/features that will set them apart. As of now the exclusives we know from PS4/One arent known to be huge sellers and I dont see Kinect 2.0 being the craze that the original was.
When an average consumer is looking for a console next year and sees PS3/360/Wii U at $200-300 or PS4/One at $400-500, I think most will choose PS360U. If there into shooters/racing/sports/sandbox games then PS360 is the way to go since there half the price, have many of the same games and have more exclusives. If there big fans of Nintendo games or buyong for kids/family then Wii U is the way to go.
I think PS4 and One have a bright future and will both sell alot but wont truly take off until 2015 when they get a price cut, more solid exclusives and PS360 support slows down.

I agree with everything you said except for the power of influence xbox360 will have on xbox one. I think Microsoft will pull mostly all support for the 360 by the end of 2014 but I think that the ps3 will be around for at least 3 more years. When I say pull support I mean first party title releases.

Ya 360 first party support has and will continue to dwindle but arent Titanfall and Crimson Dragon 2014 releases? Those are also coming to 360 I believe. 360 thrives off of 3rd party support tho and it will continue to get most of the One titles.
