I am not too sure about that. I think you are forgetting the Brand Name recognition part of the equation.
I mean, at this moment the PS4 has been riding almost on brand name alone. Sure, it has more powerful hardware and MS screw ups with the X1 launch helped it quite a bit. But at this point there is not much logical reason why it should be outselling its competitors BY THIS MUCH.
And the Nintendo brand on the other hand, we know that it is historically powerful but, I think it is nobody´s secret that Nintendo's installed base has been shrinking with each gen (excepting the Wii with its special circumstances) and I don´t want this to sound like like a DOOM thread, but I really think this is something they need to think about.
