It really wasn't a crazy prediction. Switch was tough to predict.

The GameCube and Wii U showed that Nintendo hardware can fail to make as large an impact as they want.

It´s portable myopia. Nintendo NEVER loses in the portable realm, the worst portable handheld is 3ds and 3ds was an initial disaster.  It´s a feat neither sony achievement, be unbeatable in one segment at all. Nintendo will reunite the portable and stationary output how this is gonna another Wiiu or GameCube, if neither of two has one Pokemon Game and suffers from the long drought of games.  

Maybe not at the scale this success, but switch have a bare minimum  and this minimum was a floor with 3DS+Wiiu+ some market of vita.
