I hate to say it, but I don't think a Nintendo console will sell more than 20 million units ever again, which is part of the reason why I suspect their next console isn't really a console (just a "made for TV" variation of their handheld that plays the same games).

Not without some miracle gimmick, they're never going to get past 20 million just off their core franchises.

Nintendo are just too far out of touch and aren't considered "cool" enough, and in today's market with today's kids/teenagers, that's pretty much an impossible mountain to climb.

They'll likely never be a big force in the console industry again. Which is kind of sad, but it is what it is. 

I doubt this. No one is stubborn enough to not have her (companies can be referenced that way, right?) eyes opened after such flops. And while I don't know which of the big 3 will do this, but I predict (and I'm probably right) that the console that supports VR the most at launch will be the market leader next gen. Most likely, all 3 will support VR. But whoever does it best, and not as an afterthought, will be in first position next gen. If that company is Nintendo, then everything I boldened in your post won't happen.

There's also the possibility that I'm wrong, and maybe the company that supports VR the least will be the leader next gen, or maybe the gen won't even be nearly as influenced by VR as I think it will. Maybe the market will move in a totally different direction, and the leader is whoever is best positioned in tht direction.
