2 more years. Both WiiU and 3DS will have successors in the same year.

This is exactly what I think will happen. People need to stop talking about this hybrid thing. Nintendo has said there will be separate devices quite possibly more than 2 form factors. I think that they will start releasing more hardware at a faster pace since everything will be backwards compatible.

The hybrid thing doesn't refer to one single device that acts as both, it refers to separate devices that are much more integrated and similar. A possible scenario would be a separate handheld and console that have the same architecture, operating system, online infrastructure and similar specs in order to make development for two devices much easier or possibly to give them a shared software library.
