I mostly disagree with this or don't feel they are relevant points, the only part of this I think Nintendo needs to worry about for success is point 1, marketing. You missed some very key things like making the hardware attractive to users, and having a steady stream of hit software. They also need to have hardware that has useful and convenient applications which benefit our experience in ways no other products currently do. Look how many people have smart devices today, compared to 6 years ago. The idea of a tablet market sounded a little silly at first, but nowadays it seems silly that we even thought that way. Tablets do a lot more than just gaming, they integrate with Macs and PCs, store music, documents, work as Internet surfing devices. If you want the time, the weather, the latest headlines, all you need is your tablet.
Probably most importantly, Nintendo needs a good reason to have its users use their product every single day, and think about it a great deal when they're not using it. Not just that, but other people have to look at it and see that their lives would be better if they had one too.
Onto what I disagree or think is a non factor on the list:
Focusing on "core gamers" is a stupid and backwards strategy at this point. It's a declining and fracturing market full of nerdy antisocial infantilized holier than thou dorks who will always hate Nintendo anyway. What Nintendo needs to do is focus on ALL gamers, especially their own fanbase, which has gigantic potential. Nintendo shouldn't be looking at selling 65 million consoles and being the TOP CORE COMPANY! They should be seeing how they can sell 400 million pieces of hardware.
2017 is too late.
Confusing consumers and proper price points are non-factors. That's like saying, "don't put killer bees nests in the console box."
Using PC-like hardware and backwards compatibility either can't happen together, or won't result in a proper price point.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
