To awnser the OP:

'What do you think Nintendo's tactic should be for its next console? '

Nintendo shouldn't try to beat Sony at thier own game, in terms of technology the console should be competent but not cutting-edge. At the same time, they shouldn't try to reinvent gaming with exotic peripherals either. What they should do (imo) is to make an accessible console that is designed to be compelling as a 2nd console for gamers; something that can give some advantages to players when paired up to other gaming devices (like PCs, Tablet, Smartphones and even competitor's consoles). Some may argue the Wii and WiiU were already used as 2nd consoles by many, but that was a de-facto situation (since Nintendo doesn't have 3rd party support) - the truth is none of those consoles were designed with that purpose in mind.

wouldnt that be Nintendo basically saying "hey, i know yall gonna get either PS or Xbox casue their better, but at least buy our thing too"? i dont think pride will allow them that.

It's not a matter of pride. It's a matter of acknowledging the fact that what they offer is different form Microsoft and Sony, so to try to extend their userbase without the presumption to take their place.

If that's seen as sign of being inferior dependes on your personal tastes, for one like me, who likes Nintendo consoles and other platforms as well it would be an equally great thing. After all, you only mentioned PS and Xbox in your comment which leads me to believe if I only mentioned Tablet and Smartphones you wouldn't have seen this as an admission of inferiority - That's because, for your personal tastes, you don't put to question the superiority of consoles over smartphones as gaming devices.
