Realistically Does the Console NX Have Any Chance Against PS4/XB1?

This is why NX needs to launch with specs that cross completely into 9th gen territory. Nintendo can't expect to launch a console halfway through a generation and be successful within that generation. They need to target PS5/XB2 with this one or they're really screwed.

It's very funny that people keep calling 2016 (minumum release date) as halfway through the gen. It's more than halfway ps4 and xone 5 year cycle, let alone the gen, wich started in 2012.

I don't understand what problem you have with my wording. I'm clearly only referring to Sony and Microsoft as competition, whose gen started in 2013. Even if you were to assume a 5 year life cycle (and I assumed 6), it's still practically halfway through the generation right now. So I don't know what you're trying to prove.
