Nintendo not replacing WiiU for at least a few more years! ~Iwata

Looking at this I cannot see how people can say Nintendo confirmed no new hardware until 2017-2018

"Iwata: we are preparing for the next hardware generation as always, when will it release? Difficult to declare"

"Iwata: not hopeless or at a loss in coming up with something new, but until existing users are satisfied, we cannot release next hardware"

This could go in both ways.

I'm confused over what goes on in your head. 

Those are pretty clear and complementary statements.

Let em spell it out for you: We are developing new hardware always, (as is Sony and Microsoft as they always dabble in R&D). We will be ready to release the next system in time, wich is after when our fans are satisfied with the current generation hardware.

Theres no two ways about this. Iwata mentioned years, not year. This means no Nintendo system will come out until 2017 the earliest. What exactly are you trying to say?

I agree until that point. The later is just lies just as how they were ready for HD development (struggling until now) and there won't be droughts after launch, and after E3 last year (and there were droughts after launch and after last holidays).

They are ready to launch a new console and they will see when, not when you say you are satisfied. It could happen tomorrow or in ten years. I don't know where you get the 2017 date. That's just speculation.
