EDIT: The position has been filled (I bet the next Ninty console will be close to or less than PS4 in power)

Too little, too late.

The PS4 and X1 will be passing 80 million combined install base by fall 2017 (the soonest Nintendo could realistically mobilize a full generational leap from the Wii U and still have actual software to play on it).

Same thing that happened to Wii U would happen to your proposed system, people would ignore it. The PS4/XB1 have their established online communities (XBLA, PSN) and will have a headstart of hundreds of games in their library by then too. By then both systems will likely have had further price drops too. 

No one is going to give Nintendo a participation ribbon for showing up 4 years late to the party.

Stop avoiding the question: do you wanna bet? :p

Bet what exactly? I doubt if I win you'll be around in 2 years anyway. Your idea is the same thing as the Wii U, why would Nintendo do that again? What you're describing is the worst possible thing they could do, you either walk on side of the road (high end or low end) if you walk in the middle of the road, you're going to get run over. See: Wii U.
