I think they could, they just need to bring the games. Switch is Nintendo's lightning in a bottle, as it is decent hardware with a great library thus far. 

However, if it's just another black box with 18 1GB RAM chips, and a 10TF GPU, they'd need to really focus on getting all 3rd party content day and date with the others, and have that 1st party content on deck. They'd also have to at least offer the basics of what Sony and MS are offering with their consoles. 

And uh... "NINTENDO has to make these changes in the future, because their exclusives cant compete with the combined effect of 3rd party games and PlayStation(/XBOX) exlusives."

Well...they've done this before, and are still doing it lol. Nintendo 1st party games aren't like the other 1st party games, they usually are often the only reason most Nintendo fans buy those consoles. They have a larger and more reliable lineup of games that continuously sell well. Microsoft's biggest threat isn't Nintendo, it's Sony.

But I'd like to see them at least attempt a clone of MS and Sony's black box styled consoles. Most people forget, Nintendo did make a traditional console, and was more powerful than the PS2 and could hold its own against the OG Xbox, and it, units wise (not financially) failed compared to other devices. But, I guess you could say that it failed because of the Mini DVD format, which is understandable. So I'd like to see how they'd approach it. 

But if I'm being honest with myself, I'd rather them just continue with the Switch idea until the end of time. It's too good of an idea to just drop all of a sudden.
