It's safe to say that Nintendo won't launch new hardware this year.

The Dreamcast didn't fall victim to the failures of the Saturn (or vice versa). But a quick announcement to launch, a below average launch lineup, the sense of desperation to get more powerful hardware on the market, these all connect NX to Saturn, and it failed horribly.

Nintendo is replasing litle sooner than usualy (around one year sooner, and we know last year on Nintendo console is barren) beasue is selling terible, not beacuse its weak hardware (Wii was weak hardware and Nintendo didn't being desperate to release more powerful hardware on market). So that's only reason nothing else.

Also Xbox had life span of 4 years and Xbox360 endend up selling 3x better.

NX will have great launch lineup (most likely new 3D Mario, Zelda U port and probably Pikmin 4), not average or below average.

A port and two games isn't an average launch? okay.... Also Xbox 360 had also had the benefit of being priced well, and straightforward from pc to console. If the PS3 wasn't ridiculously overpriced I doubt this would be a point to be made.
