A succesor being announced next year. Yeah no, there won't be a ninth gen console coming out soon.  If ninty does that they will literally be shooting themselves in the foot.

No...3DS is already declining fast and WiiU is not picking up the slack. Nintendo absolutely needs a new console out as soon as possible, and it needs to be a success.

What Ninty needs now is not a succesful console, but customer loyalty wich they are somewhat regaining this gen. That's all they have, left no gimicks will reseruct them now, if they release a new handheld they will lose a ton of customer loyalty.

Why?

I'm saying the handheld will release in more than a year, maybe even 1.5 years. 3DS sales will be down to 60-70k at most per week by then. They can't live on that forever and another 60k from WiiU.
