ALL Next Gen systems are going to fail!

I don't think all 3 will fail but I don't think any of them outsell their previous consoles. Lets just be real for a minute

Wii - Innovative Motion Controls - 100+ Million
360 - Best online services from a home console ever - 80+ Million
PS3 - Blu Ray player with ability to play games - 80+ Million

Wii U - Tablet controller + More hardware power
Xbone - More Hardware Power + expanded online services
PS4 - More Hardware Power + expanded online services.

The most innovative one is the Wii U, and I have one and love it but its not nearly as innovative as the Wii. Xbone and PS4 took the SNES/N64/Gamecube/GBA route which is better graphics and a controller redesign. All three consoles now have had amazing launches (yes the Wii U has the 4th best launch ever), and Nintendo was the first to learn that that there is no market for a new console with no games. Microsoft is about to learn this the hard way too if the resale prices are any indicator. Sony's sales will dip alot lower then they expect too, but overflow demand from 2013 will keep their numbers reasonable. My honest prediction this gen will be 1. PS4 - 80 million
2. Wii U 70 million 3. Xbone 35 million. Things can change by unknown factors like Kinect last gen, but as of right now thats how I see it.

I am not sure the WiiU could possibly sell double the Xb1 in any scenario.  If M$ thought that the XB1 was selling that poorly, they would adjust the price to make it competitive.  M$ isn't in this just for the "console war".  They have much bigger ambitions of a cross platform ecosystem, and they will not let it fail so easily.
