Lu Yang, a principal test engineer at Nintendo, has listed “next generation (unannounced) consoles” on his LinkedIn profile. For what it’s worth, Yang previously worked at Microsoft and spent a few years as a software development engineer for Windows Phones.

Here’s the full blurb:

Nintendo
February 2014 – Present (1 year 3 months)Redmond
Platform Tools for current (Wii U) and next generation (unannounced) consoles.

Obviously we know that NX is on the way, so perhaps what’s listed on Yang’s profile isn’t too surprising. We’ll be hearing more about that system next year!

Non-Info, all three will have started developing ideas, prototypes and tools for new consoles after the release of their current one.

Exactly. That's good to know, though it seems that by announcing they are already working on their next console they're giving the impression that it will be released soon...or at least that's some people's interpretation.

Yep!Why,did you expect one hybrid?

This might anger current Wii U owners. Longevity is expected from console makers. I wont be surprised if PS3 and Xbox 360 are still supported by the time NX launches.

Yeah,so why are you surprised by the plural then?:P

It's not non info. No employees from other manufaturers are posting this sort of info anywhere. The fact that Nintendo is implies that it's coming sooner rather than later. No sane worker is going to post hardware on their Linkedin profile that won't come into fruition in the near future., which is why you don't see Sony or Microsoft workers crediting their work on the unannounced PS5/XB2.

Nah. Winter. No way a successor is coming out without an E3 presentation, and no way that's happening this year.

Doesn't matter. They'll all buy the next system anyway.

I've always said that the NX was both, so it fits perfectly with my expectation. One handheld, one console, one OS, one platform, two NX systems.
