I said some time ago new console in 2015 and people called me crazy

Still crazy. What could they possibly prepare that quickly?

Nothing really. Wii U might be their last home console, so there will be no replacement, they will simply discontinue the console and that's it.

I actually agree with this, if only because it seems like they can't really find a space in the home console market and Japan is leaning away from it anyway, and more importantly, the hardware is there such that you can make "good enough" games on the handhelds now. But i still think 2015 is too early for their hybrid 3DS successor that can also play Wii U games.

Plus they're going to need to do SOMETHING that can connect to a TV to carry on their local multiplayer heavy-hitters of Smash and Mario Kart. But a handheld could do that too with a small settop dongle.
