The PS4 install base will only ever increase and ultimately has nothing to do with the success of Nintendo's next platform. Its not the size of the installbase thats important but about the markets apetite for new hardware. Someone who has only had a PS4 for a year is less likely to invest in a new game console, versus someone who has had a PS4 for several years. The later Nintendo releases, the more people there are that fit into the latter category and the more chance of people considering their hardware; Regardless of whats on offer.

The only thing that signals an earlier release date as better is them wanting to get thier revenue up sooner rather then later

 

This is assuming that Nintendo's plan is to steal PS4/XB1 owners, which likely is not their strategy.

I think they will want to try and chip off some of the X1/PS4 consoles userbase but more so I actually think their plan with the NX could well be to stop their current userbase buying X1/PS4 for the third party games and stick purely to Nintendo, Thats why I think Nintendo will value third party support so much this time around. If Nintendo fans don't have to buy a seconds console for the third party titles but rather just get them on the NX it also opens up more profit for Nintendo from the platform fee of third party sales as well as stopping any potential droughts.
