Why would PS4 win December NPD?

We were talking about what will drive December sales and 1st quarter sales.  The claim is that because of The Order and Bloodborne PS4 will get a healthy boost both in December (very unlikely) and 1st quarter (not much). So my belief that libraries sell systems more then an individual game still stands. We all knoe reviews are subjective and games for different systems are reviewed by different sites.  It is widely accepted that the PS4 library of high profile games has slacked behind the X1s in so far (not by much, by behind). 2 exclusives being added at the same time as many other 3rd parties are not going to make consumers run to the PS4 in droves in the 1st quarter when so many new games (exclusive and non-exclusive) are on the way and so many games are already available for new owners.

So let me get this straight.

When XB1 has a small advantage in exclusives, it makes a big difference.  Even though there are a lot of big multiplatform games out.

When PS4 gets 2 more big exclusives, it won't make a big difference because there are so many multiplatform games coming.

That sounds totally objective and unbiased....

No it doesnt matter either way so saying that the PS4 will dominate this winter (post holiday) because they have 2 exclusive games with all the other games coming out, all the existing games coming out, and all the high profile coming soon titles means that the software wont cause one console to stall or one console to sky rocket. That is my point.  Saying that saying the PS4 will dominate because of The Order and Bloodborne is silly.  I have asked for people to make a realistic estimate on how many copies of those titles will sell and how many will be with people purchasing a new console.  I think both numbers will be nothing to write home about.
