If the Wii U was priced, and built spec wise, exactly the same as the XB One, and MS had made the SAME mistakes they made this gen (Kinect, no used games, $499), sure we would've likely seen a different share right now.
We might've even seen a 3rd party split back the other way, in Nintendo's favor.
We might even see this shift if the NX launches asap. We shall see.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
