Nintendo's not exactly in a great position.

What ever the novelty that the NX has, it better be something mind blowing or they probably are finished in the home console market at least. It can't be some underpowered piece of junk anymore either, the market is too competetive for that. They'll be able to scrape by with more modest portable numbers in the future, but will have to rely much more on smartphone games as a business driver in that scenario.

Which would be somewhat sad, but it wouldn't surprise me. They've mismanaged their console division straight into the toilet and now the deck is stacked against them.

40 million PS4s already and that number will likely explode over the next 6-12 months as this is really the point of the lifecycle that Sony starts to accelerate with price cuts, strengthening software library, and that new PS4.5 model.
