How do we know a powerful $400, multimedia box from Nintendo will sell more than 25 million? Playstation brand has Europe+Others on lock down, the only way somebody is taking that from them is if Sony makes massive mistakes. Same goes for America, Playstation+Xbox brands are very strong, people aren't just going to switch without an incentive to. Japan really isn't huge into home consoles these days.
Basically Playstation+Xbox own the market for powerful, multimedia consoles with a huge focus on AAA western games. Do people really want or need a 3rd 90% identical device? In order for Nintendo to find large success with such a strategy, one or both of the competitors needs to mess up and relying on somebody else to mess up in order for u to succeed is not a very sound strategy.

playstation has nothing on lockdown. no brand does.

PS1 & PS2 each had over 80% marketshare in Europe, PS4 is on track to as well.
The only time PS didn't dominate is when they launched a $600 console and Nintendo made a console unlike any other. If PS3 launched at $400 and Nintendo made a PS3/360 imitation console (like Shadow1980 is suggesting) than it would have dominated as well.
PS1+PS2+PS3>NES+Genesis+SNES+Saturn+N64+DC+GC+XB+Wii+360
