The right time to launch a consoles is when your old one declines in sales but before its sales collapse. The (temporary) decline of their home console business had a huge effect on Nintendo's profits. A healthy home console would've offset most of the losses they took with the 3DS.

But you can't launch it too early either! just look at dreamcast... Would the Wii U have been a good idea in 2010?
