Reggie says Nintendo’s next console won’t launch until the Wii U is out of potential

[DélioPT]

This is pretty much what everone expected: Nintendo is not going to rush a new console.
They want to please existing gamers and they want, from a developer point of view, to exploit all it's strenths before moving on.

But to actually do the latter, they really need to support the console, otherwise the console might not live to see all the things developers want to do with it.
