If it does release in 2016, and is not significantly more powerful than the PS4, consider it DOA. Not only are they going to lose some of their fan base after releasing only 4 years after the Wii U, which also meant moving 1 1/2 years or so worth of Wii U games over to it, but the core market is mostly going to ignore it. Especially when they'll be able to get a PS4 (which has all those great games coming out next year) for just $299.

You think same like Microsoft lose some of their fan base with releasing Xbox 360 only 4 years after original Xbox!? Also Nintendo consoles usualy have life span around 5 years, so 1 year less isn't big deal.

Nintendo said that with NX they want affordable console with a brand new concept, so they do not plan to compete directly with PS4/XboxOne, something similar like Wii didnt directly compete with Xbox360/PS3.

So it's little too premature calling it DOA.

please, nintendo always competes directly and that won't change. besides, the only thing they said (and that was just miyamoto) was that they don't pursue high end specs (but neither does sony or MS).
