The problem is that Nintendo has lost its brand power as a home gaming powerhouse. Sony stole that brand power back when the PS1 came out as a success and they have run with it ever since. They stumbled a bit with the PS3 and lost some ground to Microsoft due to other factors, but the huge comeback they made with the PS4 clearly shows that the brand is as strong as ever. I dare say that to the young gamer generation, Playstation means gaming, Xbox means gaming but Nintendo is something a little more nebulous. HH stuff and Pokemon and something something. And that is the biggest hurdle they would have to climb in order to get back in the game in the home console space. If they still want to pursue that in the first place.

this! people really need to divorce themselves from this idea that people started gaming with Nintendo. They didnt, we're old there are people in their early 20s that grew up playing PS.

Like me, I grew up with Playstation 1 since I was 6 until I was 12, and then I got a Ps2. Most people in Europe that were gamer kids on the 90 and early 00 grew up with PS, not Nintendo consoles. There's quite a nostalgia for the brand too, I can see it in a lot of my friends, people thinks it only happens to Ninty.
