Tell that to the Vita. Sales numbers will control this gen far more than the previous one.
Also 3DS had sold 22m in the same amount of time, with only 1 holiday season.
That...just proves my point. DS was the dominant platform for developers last gen so they naturally followed up on the 3DS. Then Nintendo just had to go to Capcom and get MH and it was game, set, match. This wasn't decided by hardware sales numbers. The devs weren't just waiting on the sidelines for sales numbers to come in, they had to make a bet beforehand. Keep in mind, with the vita/3ds analogy, the ps4/720 is like the 3ds and the wii u is the vita.
Now in some universe where the 3DS ended up bombing and the Vita became the fastest selling system of all time, then sure, devs would have to change ship. And if ps4/720 literally sell nothing while wii u ends up selling 15 million/year, then sure, wii u would suddenly start getting a lot of development. But these are ludicrous scenarios. The reality is that Sony and MS have already got major developers making ps4/720 games, while nothing indicates Nintendo having major third parties on board the wii u. So you have to make next gen predictions within that context.
