What If Nintendo Released A New Console In 2 Years?

I think the idea that one console "ends" the previous console kinda has to change anyway.

It was valid in the 90s/2000s, but things have changed, there are different ways of moving forward especially now with digital distribution.

When a new iPad comes out, people don't throw a fit because all their old apps won't be supported or they have to buy the new iPad just to use new apps.

That's because every app that works on the first iPad still works on every other iPad. The same goes for PCs, every new PC can play most of the PC games of the last 30 years.

But you are proposing a x86-Nintendo-console (easy ports from and to PC/PS4/XBO) which also plays WiiU-games (different architecture), even better. That won't be cheap. Essentially, Nintendo would build a PC with a very very efficient WiiU-emulator (or the complete WiiU-hardware additionally build into the box).
