I just don't see it. Even of Nintendo drops a new system before the halfway mark of the two current "next-gen" consoles it will be more expensive and competing with capable mature consoles that have already had decent price drops and high demand.

If anything the next Nintendo console will be a mild success in that case.

Now if they continue to ride out the WiiU disaster until a year or two before the other two bigs drop their new consoles that might be a different story. But, then they'll be in the same predicament as they were with the WiiU, people holding off to see what MS and/or Sony are pushing out.

I really feel Nintendo is in a no win situation right now. But hey, things can change and Nintendo might drop some mind melting hardware on us and change the whole game.
