Even if the NX comes out in 2016, R&D for the platform will be costly.
The games schedule for 2016 is somewhat sparse for Nintendo platforms, as it seems the only real heavy hitter will be Zelda, at least from the games announced so far. An open world Zelda will also be extraordinarily costly for development and simply doesn't sell that phenomenally well.
I think there will be two things that will allow Nintendo to receive extraordinary profit margins:
1. They will stop the artificial scarcity of Amiibos and begin to produce them in full capacity. Since it won't be immediately known that Nintendo has increased their production, there will be a period of time when the audience thinks that Amiibos are scarce when they aren't. This will cause a temporary influx of money.
2. 7th generation Pokémon are released in late 2016 as a swan song for the 3DS, much like Pokémon Black and White.
