Nintendo shouldn't release a new console earlier than PS5.

So basically you think it's a better idea to copy Sony and MS and just make a powerful machine where consumers need to pay $400 (and Nintendo probably still losing money) and then hope that third parties will hop on board instead of trying to catch the casual crowd again like Wii did?

Yeah. I think its pretty clear the market that bought the Wii and DS have moved on. The only way Nintendo gets more marketshare is to try to take it from Sony and Microsoft because they clearly aren't taking it from tablets/phones.

The jump from handheld to smartphones really isn't that big, but you think that tens of millions previous Wii owners wouldn't buy a home console ever again?
Why not making it more efficient to steal marketshare from MS and Sony by only developing first person shooters. Those platformer-lovers will surely move on...
In reality, neither PS4, X1 or WiiU are offering anything worthwhile for casual gamers. They were forced to move on. But that doesn't mean that they wouldn't come back once they see something they like.
