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

Or risk your entire strategy when you realize that those people will not be starved for new hardware as the userbase grows, and with it, the support. "Why would I need to buy a new console now when this one is getting even more support?"

Its not about being starved of new hardware to the point of needing a new system, but allowing time for people to actually be comfortable spending another $300 on a luxury gaming system.
Beyond that, support for PS4 is universal already and absolutely nothing will allow the NX to hurt its software support going forward or compete with the software library PS4 would have accumulated in its 3-4 year headstart.
