Anyway, I'm not sure why it's considered relevant that a dyed in the wool Nintendo fan bought a PS4.

Did he write a manifesto swearing off his allegiance to a Nintendo Corporation that has utterly failed him as a consumer? Did he declare he's "outgrown" Nintendo and has moved on to a Playstation lifestyle?

Maybe he should have just waited for the NX seeing as how it's due in less than a year.

Or maybe he just bought a second console in one generation, which is pretty normal for a video game fan.

It's relevant because Nintendo's fanbase is shrinking and once these Nintendo fans get another company's system and see the huge amount of games to choose from, next time around they skip the Nintendo system altogether.

No, come on. 

Skipping the next Nintendo system means skipping out on the real reason anyone should be buying Nintendo hardware to begin with: Nintendo IPs. 

Some gamers will grow out of them. Some may go back into them when they have kids. Regardless, there's always going to be a fanbase for Nintendo IP games sure as there will always be a market for Disney animated films. 

If anyone is still buying Nintendo consoles for the fantastic 3rd party support after the Wii, I don't know what to tell them. Adjust your expectations in line with reality?

I'm not trying to be mean here, but there is such a thing as making informed decisions as a consumer based upon the volumes of information available.
