Yeah, you're very wrong at that. Hardware manufacturer's wnt their product to be bought INSTEAD of the competitors. Expecting the manufacturers to make a console without believing in it is unrealistic.

You need to remember what they did with the Wii and WiiU. WiiU failures can be attributed to the inclusion of gamepad that never had killer software to warrant the purchase not the underpowered WiiU hardware.  Nintendo strategy has been to focus on family friendly product that can attract the casual market. Nintedo isn't going to be competing with the Xbox one and PS4 especially since these console are in the 3-4 year of their current cycle. It would foolish to make a powerful machine with high price tag that meant to replace current gen hardware. Instead the NX is going to be a casual friendly product that offer something diffent. Casual friendly market price for a console is $250-299. Therefore, expect the NX to have what power that can by squeeze in a price tag of $299.

gosh, cut the crap. nintendo always competes with sony and ms, with the difference that nintendo actually targets real gamers. Of course the next console WILL be meant to replace current hardware, that's the whole point of releasing a new system in all kinds of industries.
