If they offer a good product people will buy it.
Wii proved that already, practically nobody owned a GameCube.
Edit:
I could imagine Nintendo being able to finally grasp online gaming would be a huge boost.
I imagine a chat room, similar to the PS4 party system, except on Nintendo's system you are in a little enclosed Super Mario Bros lvl.
Each player can jump around and smash blocks or collect coins while you wait to launch whatever game you are actually going to play, or just simply chat. The party leader has choice "sandbox" theme. It would make waiting for that last friend to join your party less monotonous, and something I think Nintendo could really nail.
To this day the WiiU friend system feels lonely. The first screen you see should have your friends on it. To have to click and load menus deep just to see if someone is online really discourages me from even adding friends at all on
this system.
Of course competitive hardware is a must. But Nintendo has also been known to take risks, I wouldn't be surprised if they announced that the next console was VR only.
