Unless Ninty can come up with something that is both innovative and interesting to the masses, it most certainly will fail.
What people don't understand is that Ninty Ips are great for hardcore NInty fans, but most gamers have no interest in them. The time of cute mascots being the most talked about genre are long gone. People can enjoy Splatoon, but it still doesn't push hardware sales enough. It's the era of realistic games and that's not going to change any time soon.
The thing is a lot of people are in denial. They blame marketing, the name of a console, a bad launch and all sorts of insignificant things when xb1 showed that that's not enough for a console to sell well.
I'm sure there will be good 3rd party support at first, then nx owners will mostly buy 1st party games and then 3rd parties will abandon NX only for Ninty fans to criticize them and call them names, ignoring the facts and coming up with all sorts of excuses (there was x problem with the port, it was too expensive, it came out too late, etc).
