All you did reinforce what I was saying. No proof exist about a 2016 launch besides pr spin. He made it seem like your ideas were coming from some unquestionable source.

I don't care if it comes out this year or next year, as I am not planning on getting it at launch anyway.

They have already promised to release Zelda for the WiiU (although I'm certain they will port to the NX, or design for the NX and port to the WiiU, either way). I would be more upset if they cancel Zelda WiiU.

I feel sorry for Wii U owners. They have abandoned the console already smh

4 years is standard support for Nintendo consoles, after that point it's always shit anyway so I say get rid of that 5th year.

I'd be worried if Nintendo does release the NX this year because I don't believe they've had nearly enough time to prepare a software lineup that will make that new console appealing to the general public.

Wrong. You completely missed the subject (hint: it's in the thread's title). I have never once said Soundwave's theory about what the NX is is right or wrong. It's just a theory at this point, no matter if he states it's his opinion or says it as if it were fact. He knows exactly as much about what it is as you or me.

I have also never said Soundwave is unquestionably correct in his stance about the NX coming in 2016; I've never said that it definitely is or is not either. However, Soundwave, unlike most of those arguing for a 2017 release, is posting sources for his reasoning and presenting them in a detailed, logical manner. He is showing you WHY he believes what he believes. Whether or not you agree, you have to at least respect it, because you have the means to understand why he believes it. Even when I disagree with someone's viewpoints and opinions, I can appreciate them when they show me some reasonable sources and explain them well.

You can call it "pr spin" all you want, but let's see you show us something more substantial. I've been waiting for it, and I'm not so staunch and stubborn that I can't see reasonable proof in the other side's favor. I'm open to anything worth looking into, so show me what you got.

So in other words, you just kind of made that up?

Moot point anyway. I read Hiku's response to the matter after my post, and he pretty much made my argument for me already, and much better than I ever could.

Nothing to feel sorry about. It's a very fun console for Nintendo games and has the most significant new Nintendo console IP in like 15 years in Splatoon. It also has the deepest content 2D Mario, Mario Kart, and Smash Brothers games by a huge gap. 

Both the GameCube and N64 got roughly 45-47 Nintendo published games, the Wii U is already at 37-38, when you factor in Zelda U, Pokken Tournament, SMT x Fire Emblem, Star Fox 0, and Paper Mario U, you already are at nearly the same number of Nintendo games as the N64/GCN got. 

That's not bad considering HD development takes much more resources. It's been well supported by Nintendo. As for third party support, you know the risks when you buy a Nintendo platform. 

Okay. But you do know this entire thread is made up of leaps of faith, and nothing concrete, right....

Pretty much this. They already released or will release (Zelda U, Star Fox..) almost all biggest franchises , so there is no real point ridding dead horse.
