Not really, it's more about the exciting pipeline of products Nvidia can offer Nintendo.
The system is pretty solid right now for what it is, that doesn't mean it can't improve in the future. The concept is good, Nintendo just needs to stay ahead of the curve.
It's kinda like the PSP, which I know some people rag on, but 80 million units with Sony half asleep during the later years of its life is fairly impressive, it also sold 10 million units in 10 months ... sales almost as fast as the Wii and PS4 (those were a month quicker).
What happened with the PSP though IMO is when it launched in 2004 it was really quite high end and people appreciated that, but by 2008 when PS3/360 were everywhere, it felt really dated in terms of its central appeal of offering console-like games on the go. There was too huge of a gap and I think interest in the system started to fade outside of Japan where it got lucky with the Monster Hunter craze coming out of nowhere.
I think hardware refreshes are just a fact of life in the industry now too. People are going to get used to it. It makes the companies more money anyway.
