If it does release in 2016, and is not significantly more powerful than the PS4, consider it DOA. Not only are they going to lose some of their fan base after releasing only 4 years after the Wii U, which also meant moving 1 1/2 years or so worth of Wii U games over to it, but the core market is mostly going to ignore it. Especially when they'll be able to get a PS4 (which has all those great games coming out next year) for just $299.

You think same like Microsoft lose some of their fan base with releasing Xbox 360 only 4 years after original Xbox!? Also Nintendo consoles usualy have life span around 5 years, so 1 year less isn't big deal.

Nintendo said that with NX they want affordable console with a brand new concept, so they do not plan to compete directly with PS4/XboxOne, something similar like Wii didnt directly compete with Xbox360/PS3.

So it's little too premature calling it DOA.

That was not only MS's first console, it was launched two years after the first console of that gen (the DC) was launched.  The Wii U was the 1st console of this gen to launch, and Nintendo has a legacy live up to and pretty loyal fanbase to appease.  Completely different situations.

The NX, if released in Holiday 2016, will be going head to head with a $299 PS4 (the same price they are probably going to try to launch the NX at), in what could be its peak year.  And, like I said, if they are not going to outperform the PS4 in an attempt to be affordable, they will be ignored by the core market.  The market that is still kicking.  And if they are trying to have some kinda gimmick with the NX to appeal to casuals, they are obviously still on the wrong path, as the casuals are mostly gone. 

If this is the scenerio, the NX will suffer the same fate as the Wii U.  Selling only to the hardcore Nintendo fans.  How many that are still around after being abandoned halfway through this gen.
