You may think that, but nothing on the examples he mentioned corroborates to think that what you say goes on the mind of the average consumer. Sega consoles didn't sell because they sucked. Plain and simple. The NX will sell if it's good, and it won't, if it sucks, the same way it happened with pratically all platforms in the past. There is little to do with the year they are released. The launch of a new product seems detrimental only to the old hardware, not the new.

 

Besides, I think this is right specially because a lot of Nintendo fans are against the idea, and a lot of those Nintendo fans are almost always wrong about their favorite company and the console market these days. Just a few of their consensus predictions below:

- PS4/XBO will run on relatively weaker hardware.

- Wii-U will sell a lot.

- There will be no 2DS.

- There will be no Nintendo games on smartphones.

- Nintendo won't announce a new product soon.

And the list goes on...

 

As a Nintendo fan I have never said the PS4/XBO will run on weaker hardware, I never ruled out the possibility of a 2DS (or a 3Dless 3DS), I saw it as a impractical thing, but a novel idea if they ever did it. I knew the smartphone move was inevtiable to some degree and I always know Nintendo is looking to improve on their hardware, so I don't see the point of your list. What I am saying it seems impractical to kill off your system this soon into the life of the generation.
