Well. It can always happen. This gen didn't start well for Microsoft and Nintendo because they shot themselves on the foot but a lot of people clearly don't even want to believe that Sony can fuck up just like they did at any moment. They will probably get the lead this gen, but if gen 8 they pull a MS and try to begin a digital-only streaming service they will be pretty much done for since MS probably won't make the same mistake again. MS at least rectified those policies and puts a lot of work into the console (Monthly updates and such), but who knows what would Sony do in that case, maybe they would try to force it into people and destroy all they did with the PS brand all these years.
In any case, even if Sony or MS don't shoot themselves the foot, I think Nintendo obviously has a chance. They are producing lots of high quality games this gen for Wii U and 3DS, mostly for Wii U to compensate its flaws. IMO even if they don't sell very well, they are creating confidence among consumers, because they didn't just drop the new console and moved onto another one like Sega did (and also for some reason lots of people used to say they should do this, like seriously wtf) nor did they focus all their resources into 3DS just because that one did sell great, ignoring the Wii U (Yes PS Vita I'm looking at you), but rather supported it heavily and at least for me that makes me think that even if the 9th gen Nintendo console is also another fuck up, at least I'll be getting some crazy good games so I'll not hesitate to buy it at some point early in it's life.
