For me this can only mean one thing, Nintendo is planning a shorten lifespan for their console.

A new Wii in 2016-2017???

Yeah i expect 3-4 years lifespan. Since Nintendo makes profit on the hardware (or will soon), it makes sense. Look at Apple and Samsung, the make heaps of money on devices that they refresh every year. It's better to release a cheaper less powerfull device and refresh it more often than to develope and release a expensive state of the art one that you sell with a loss and keep on the market longer. Also Nintendo makes the most money on their own IP's anyway.
