i could say the same thing about One dooming Itself to original Xbox status, people bring up GC selling poorly despite all the big first party titles but Xbox had Halo, excellent third party support, the best online and better multimedia features and barely beat GC. It doesnt need to sell like Wii in order for it to outsell One for a single year, GC was able to outsell Xbox in 2003, the year Mario Kart and Zelda released and the price was $99 vs $179. Fast forward to 2014 and Wii U is getting Mario Kart, Smash Bros and possibly Zelda plus the price is $299 vs $499.
Ur right One will have excellent 3rd party support but like I said in my last post, many will be split up by up to 6 platforms. Alot of people will be content to play those games on PS360 and PS4 seems like its gonna be more popular than One meaning the multiplats will probably sell better on PS4. As of now we only know of a few games exclusive to next gen, games like The Witcher 3 and Thief havent been huge sellers in the past, The Division and The Crew look promising but its likely they sell more similar to Ghost Recon/Splinter Cell/Rainbow Six than Assassins Creed, which isnt bad but not gonna be a system seller. Metal Gear Solid 5 will almost certainly sell significantly better on PS4, same with Final Fantasy 15 and Kingdom Hearts 3 which are very likely 2015 titles. As far as exclusives the only ones that look like they could move alot of systems are TitanFall and Halo but Mario Kart and Smash Bros are just as big system sellers.

PS3 and 360 will sell well into the holiday season, but the Xbone and the PS4 have a higher demand in all than Nintendo does because of the larger audience that they provide for. Yes, the late adopters will buy current gen consoles and some will buy Wii U's this year, but when they see what next gen has to offer at a Best Buy screen the job is already done. The commercialism will be there. Titan Fall will be a system seller for gamers, not exactly the people who don't know about it yet. So far the two best games on the PS4 and Xbox One are InFamous and TitanFall above even multiplat titles. This says a lot for both consoles on the quality. Again, MS better pay EA and Respawn to keep that game away from Sony or else Sony has the natural edge, yet again.

U didnt really adress anything I said 
Yes Playstation and Xbox have a larger audience than Nintendo but that audience is spread out among multiple consoles. Almost 60% of PS360 sales have come in the past 3 years, those people are probably still content with those consoles for the next 1-2 years especially since many of PS4/One games will be on PS360. I dont think alot of people buy a new $500 console to play games they can play on there current console.
360 was able to find huge success thanks to it releasing a year earlier and being $200 less than PS3, this time they are releasing at the same time and its $100 more expensive so I have a strong feeling Playstation is going to take back alot of the crowd Xbox stole at the beginning of this gen.
As for next gen 3rd party games, which ones are going to be big system sellers in 2014?
