I'm not stating opinion though. The info you have in your OP is mostly made up. Nothing was said about Sega. Fact. Nothing was said about 2016/17 support. Fact. The bit about FY15/16/17 is referencing Nintendo's long term view of when they will be profitable again and again has nothing to do with what you're talking about in this thread. Fact. 

Fact is Nintendo doesn't give direct answers. So you have to take what is given and smoosh it all together with anything else you know. Then present your original arguement. That is what I have done.

You are very negative and see nintendoom while I see a massively wealthy company that specified new hardware is still far off, they have no interest in pissing off current customers with killing current off early, and they have a lot of big games coming out that wouldn't allow them to start really working on the new IPs for a new console yet... especially considering it takes 2-3 years for Nintendo to make the next major iterations. Its simply illogical to expect a new console before 2017 when you consider all this.


Well now you're venturing into opinion-ism and that's fine, just don't present it as fact, which is misleading. 

My position on a console is actually quite clear ... you're right you won't see a new Nintendo console in 2015 or 2016. I though happen to think you won't see a new console in 2017 or 2018 or 2019 either. Nintendo is done with the traditional console business once they wash their hands of the Wii U disaster.

And I'm not even sure if they will be the only ones, I think Microsoft is a 50/50 chance of jumping ship on dedicated consoles after this gen too.
