Of course they can. But considering the trends we're having this 8th gen (PS4 outselling everyone by a far margain, and both WiiU and 3DS struggling to keep up with their predecessors, specially WiiU) I think it would need a Wii-like hit to have a chance of surpassing the PS4 in sales. Being older or younger hardware isn't as important as it seems, specially when hardware is getting more and more standarized, all consoles are becoming more and more alike.

Everything resets with a new gen.

Nintendo doesnt dictrate when a new gen starts though.

Its the 8th gen now, and nintendo launching a new console, thats in no way better hardware wise than the PS4, doesnt mean its a 9th gen console.

 

Avg consumers dont care about what gen a console is.

They look at the product, compair it to others on the market and pick whichever they think gives them the best bang-4-buck & has the best game line up.

I dont think nintendo NX launches at under 300$ (which ps4 will be at this year holidays), and its game line up at launch will have to be very strong to pull consumers away from just buying a PS4 instead.
