"first place" by default, PS4 is going to easily overtake it once all those Japanese games, like Dragon Quest XI start showing up. And a "me too PS4" launching in 2017 attracts North America and Europe how exactly? 

By having more games ready if the dev kits are out. Launch linup is far more inportant than Dragon Quest XI on a worldwide scale. We may be able to agree on this.


Unless they're planning to launch with 500 titles, they're going to be woefully behind Sony/MS especially by 2017 anyway. 

If that's what they're planning to do, they may as well just accept the console part of the NX equation is just a small niche product for like 10-15 million, even most Nintendo fans won't buy it (as most Nintendo fans today overwhelmingly choose a 3DS 5:1 over a Wii U). 

The PS4/XB1 strong hold on the core market? Hah. Good luck Nintendo. By then the XBox One and PS4 could be $250 too, so the NX won't even have the benefit of being a "aw, shucks, it's the low cost cute Nintendo console for families" thing going for it, as Sony/MS' pricing will start to reach into that territory already. 

MS will probably start talking about XB2 around 2017 too, because I think they are going to want to launch in 2018, trying to get a 1 year lead time on Sony again.
