Nintendo is not just trying to do fitness, though i would hazard that this gen is the last in any conventional sense.

As Sony migrates to being a more service-oriented company over the next five years, they'll push their Gaikai infrastructure into PlayStation Now as an independent platform, where the hardware becomes less important than the service.

Microsoft is either going to drop the whole business (less likely), or migrate more in a set-top box direction (so also more service oriented, but more as a general entertainment hub, while Sony's remains more gaming-focused).

Nintendo puts more focus on the handheld, having the console be a mere extension of the handheld platform, one that will likely synergize with their Quality of Life stuff as well.

This brings each of them into conflict with different sectors. Sony fights Valve (at least in gaming), Microsoft fights Apple and Google, who are their true enemies anyway, Nintendo fights the good fight against Mobile (so *also* Apple and Google, along with Samsung and a half-dozen others, but in a less direct way)


There is good chance of happening it.
