I've been saying this literally since the "NX" was first even hinted at. It's NOT coming out in 2016, at all. If it does, it would be a retarded move on Nintendo's part. Wii U is still making them money, not a TON, but enough. 3DS is still making them money, a fair bit actually. There is zero reason to replace either this year, and the new Prez himself has said they are "in no hurry to replace Wii U". Similar statements were made about 3DS earlier on as well.
NX is VERY VERY likely not coming out in 2016. And not only is saying it will wishful thinking, it's also silly wishful thinking, because wanting a new system to be rushed and potentially hurt it's long-term success, when you can just as easily wait and (god forbid) enjoy another year or so of good Wii U gaming. Just doesn't make any rational sense for anyone to want Nintendo to rush Wii U's succesor to market. Let it "cook" as long as it needs to go be GOOD, and have a strong lineup of games waiting, not just for launch, but all the way up until it's first holiday season and beyond. If you want NX to succeed, then THAT is what you should want to happen, in 2017.
