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.

Nintendo doesn't really compete with Sony and Microsoft.

I'm sorry but you are wrong. Unless you mean they are no longer in the same league as MS and Sony at this point.

They sell video game consoles and video games do they not? Sony and MS also sell video game consoles and video games do they not? Then they are competing directly.

Also, they are a business looking to make money just like every other company and therefore Nintendo competes with ANY other for profit business for consumers' disposable income. Doubly so with regards to MS and Sony's video game divisions.

They are in different markets within the market.

There are products in divisions for family and than the more hardcore. if you are making cooking momma I highly doubt your aiming for call of duty crowd. The whole, everything is your enemy, isn't how it actual markets work.
