Speaking as someone who likes MS the least of the three, Microsoft won. They showed games and nothing else. Sure, they weren't that revolutionary and few of them were exclusive, but they gave people tens of reasons to buy an Xbox One this year.

Nintendo's conference appealed to those who own a Wii U but won't convince anyone who doesn't.

I agree with this.

So what you're suggesting is that games like Xenoblade Chronicles X, Bayonetta 2, Devil's Third, and Zelda which looks like Skyrim are games which appeal specifically to Nintendo early adopters moreso than Mario Kart which is bringing in new console buyers?

After re-reading the sentence I said I agreed with, I would change it slightly:
Nintendo's conference appealed to those who own a Wii U and fans of Nintendo IPs that have been holding off on buying a Wii U. For those not interested in Nintendo's IP, their conference really didn't and won't convince people to buy a Wii U.

Yes, Zelda will shift some consoles when it releases. But it will mostly be selling to Nintendo fans who were holding out for the next Zelda game. Xenoblade, Bayonetta, and Devil's Third won't shift many consoles.
