No, they don't.

They need these two things:

Low price
(Many) Good games

You pretend like the three strategies outlined in the op are the only ones Nintendo can pick, despite how your product management "expertise" should make it obvious that that is simply not the case.

No need to be condescending.

If they have a low price, if people are already happy with the PS4/Xbox lineup, why would they get another console? And stating a console has to have good games is stating the obvious, so how/what are these good games going to be? Are they going to be first or third party? Are they going to rely on any Nintendo franchise? Are they going to be technically advanced, current gen or retro? Your solution just opens up a whole lot of questions.

No because VR is going to be meh just like 3D gaming.

Currently almost all the reviews of the Oculus are saying otherwise.

Anybody who answered the question, "What do you think Nintendo's tactic should be for its next console?" with Amiibos, should have their genitals removed with surgery, or chemicals, at their expense.

I'm pretty sure 90% of the people here posted after just reading the title and didn't even reach that question...

No, they are really nothing to go by. These days almost every gadget does well on preorders. I mean, even the Wii U had great pre-oders and had a strong start (first 2 months). Plus, companies love to PR/brag about pre-oders, it's hard to actually know when they're lying or telling the truth. Sometimes they just let the stores just order a few units in order to make it "outsell" quickly and create hype/buzz. 

So yeah, we should wait and see first. Regarding the question: No, at the moment I'd say no gaming company needs VR to stay revelant.

Is that gadget comment really true though? You don't hear buzz about preorders about things like Fitbit, but tend to hear about big preorders about products that go on to sell well e.g. iWatch. Also, you you can't actually lie about pre-orders because that would count as fraud. 

Also, any thoughts on what the NX should do?
