I'm not inclined to make a prediction without knowing a bit more about what games the three companies have coming out at Xmas. Sony and MS are in the middle of their games drought (the one which seems to happen to every console in its first 6-12 months) and Nintendo currently have an opening to gain a lot of ground if they keep the momentum going post-MarioKart.
I will say this, though. At present, the only PS4/XO game slated for 2014 that I think has the potential to truly be a system-seller is Destiny, and I would not be remotely surprised if it gets bumped back into 2015. There are a few others like Driveclub, The Crew and The Evil Within, but I get the impression that they're more likely to be similar to Watch_Dogs; games that go over well with the people who already own the consoles. |
but look how much better PS4 and to a lesser extent X1 are selling in comparison to WIi U even WITH their game droughts. So imagine what happens when they dont have that problem.

You're missing my point. The PS4 and XO are selling well now, yes, but they're also relatively new still and have fairly large loyal fanbases who would buy the consoles no matter what.
Both consoles' sales have been tapering off now (there was a spike when Watch_Dogs released, but not a huge one) and will probably continue to do so until the consoles have stronger libraries of games, including at least one or two true system sellers. So yes, NOW they're both selling alright, but the early adopters should all have bought them by now. Through the rest of 2014, they're going to need some bigger games.
