Oh man, if true, it's not hyperbolic to think that's it may already be over. Releasing a console in 2017, that can barely match the power of the second most powerful console released in 2013 would be insane. Cannot f***ing wait to see what the deal is with this system. Much of it looks gruesome at this point, and launch is less than a year away.

On the other hand, do you see a Nintendo console on par with PS4 Neo that costs $100-150 more doing significantly better or having vastly more 3rd party support?

A $250 Xbox One level Nintendo console vs a $400 PS4 Neo level Nintendo console.

That's a great question. There really are too many factors, and too many unknowns, to make that kind of prediction with reasonable certainty. I would say that Nintendo is in deep no matter what choice they make in regards to power/price point, but I would go with a more powerful system/higher cost as opposed to the the opposite.
