Nintendo still expect 3DS to sell 12M for 2014 fiscal year.
After that we will have figurines with new games for them. 3DS must be in a good form.
Nintendo talked also in make 3DS compatible with unity for lots of indies ports.
Also we'll have to wait the 6th gen of pokemon end. It started in 2013, and we have to wait at least pokemon Z sometime in 2015 or 2016.
So i think 3DS has much more to show, and his sucessor wont come in 2016.

What i remember from what iwata said, the profit from 2017 would be because of QoL. Launched in 2015 it would take a little time to profit.
Also,this profit couldnt be from wii U or 3DS sucessor. Usually dont profit a lot in the fisrt year. The software sales are the worst compared to following years.
