Never.

The Wii U won't be selling in 2016. Zelda will be its swan song, not a system seller.

The only way I see myself eating those words if they somehow manage to tap into casual market in 2015 with a 199 price tag, Mario Kart and a ton of family orientated games which utilise the gamepad and wii mote.

Zelda U? Swan song? Yeah, sure!

Yeah, I doubt this, too. You're saying that Zelda will be the swansong when Starfox won't be close to finished by that date?

Yeah, I think Zelda will be the last BIG game. I don't really think starfox will make a big splash, its very hard to guage the sort of revelance that franchise  still has today, let alone in 2016. I know it has a very vocal audience on the internet where Nintendo fans are concerned, but that doesn't necessarily translate into sales. I think it will be heavily dependant on the gametype though, whether its on rails like 64, an action game confined to ships, on foot action adveture, a combination of the above ..
