I think Nintendo can get away with a mid-cycle console/platform release under the condition that they update the NX hardware once every 3 or so years and make it mandatory that all software is compatible (bare minimum) with the gen before it to ensure that all NX owners have at least six years of software support before having to upgrade. I think they can get away with that (at least with this upcoming gen) because we'll probably be seeing a lot of cross-gen games when the PS5/xbox2 come out anyway.
