The first one will be released in 2016 (Nintendo handheld), then the next in 2017 (Nintendo console), and Sony and Microsoft's between 2018 and 2020.

Power won't bring 3rd party's to Nintendo. Honestly, without some type of "new" thing, Nintendo will never be that successful with their consoles. |
Lack of power seems to have kept them away. But perhaps Nintendo's disdain for 3rd parties is and will continue to keep them away.
But I agree with your last statement. There is something about Nintendo itself that keeps gamers away from Nintendo home consoles. I think its the perception that Nintendo is for little kids, which Nintendo is doing nothing to dissuade the market of this perception. What with the recent announcements of the Woolly Yoshi game and the Kirby Rainbow game it doesn't matter how great and challenging the gameplay is, or how good the games look, they are games that look like they are aimed at 6-year olds.
The "new" thing Nintendo needs to do is reinvent itself so that brand Nintendo appeals to a broader market, and not one that is a fly-by-night one generation wonder. But I wonder if the very name "Nintendo" is part of the problem.

2016 for Nintendo Handheld and console successor, 2020 for the others.

Nintendo always drives 3rd party's away though Gen after Gen. N64 had cartrages, GC had mini discs, Wii was underpowered and didn't have a traditional controller and the Wii U is also underpowered. Even worse though is the Gamepad. The fact that developers feel the need to make a version specifically for the Gamepad...
I agree. I think the damage is done though. Nintendo will always be associated as a kid brand. It isn't "cool" to own Nintendo.

Nintendo will make another console. Sony has already said that the PS5 will essentially be a digital console, haven't they? Steam Machines will probably have yearly iterations. Who knows what Microsoft will do with Xbox.
So if Nintendo is the only company who follows the traditional console cycle going forward, how will the generations be defined?
Nintendo Handheld/Nintendo Home Console: Holiday 2016 or Spring 2017/Holiday 2017
Sony Handheld/Sony Home Console: N/A/Holiday 2018 or 2019
Microsoft Home Console: 2018 (I'm not completely positive on this one at all.)
Nintendo will start it off with their Handheld, like this generation.
