Opinion: As earlier NX releases, as bigger are the chances it wont be what your waiting for.

And another reason they can't release it this year; When the PS5 and Xbox Whatever come out 2 years later, Nintendo's gonna kill the NX right away for a new system.

Again, DREAMCAST.

The Dreamcast didn't die because of the PS2. The device was doomed due to the finantial situation of Sega at the time and a lot of bad decissions since the Genesis era, the PS2 just put the final nail in the coffin. It it weren't for that, it could have sold the same as the Gamecube or the XBox. Also, precedent is not enough to guarantee that something will happen. There are an infinity of factors that will affect the NX that weren't even around during the 6th gen, and the other way around.

But if Nintendo can't overcome enough of those factors, the NX would fail, they'd likely stop making games, and the industry itself would be horrendous.

ANOTHER reason why the NX can't release too soon.

No. Even with this generation being the weakest for Nintendo, the company still earns money. They can afford to have smaller userbases than the competition due to their insane attach rates. And with them working on a single architecture, they will be able to concentrate their userbase and offer a stronger product.

Also, een if it fails, why would a multimillion dollar company would stop working on their best products just because one of them failed?
