Well, if all three go with Tablet controllers, Nintendo will win the next generation, too.
When the consoles become more and more similar, the games will be the only thing that makes a difference. And on pure games, Nintendo wins, hands down.

Isn't that kind of what happened with the PS2 and the GameCube though?

While I agree with Silver-Tiger that Nintendo has the advantage, I disagree with his reasoning ...

When you have a market filled with (essentially) generic products the company that controls the market has the advantage. Having the largest userbase in the previous generation and launching before Nintendo and Microsoft helped Sony gain control of the market long before Nintendo or Microsoft could respond; and in this generation Nintendo will have the largest userbase in the previous generation and will be launching before either Sony or Microsoft.

Both seem plausible for me, the outcome will be the same, though. Nintendo wins.
