WiiU is 2 years old today, how much do you expect it to last?

New 3DS is nothing special. It's the traditional "last gasp revision" that Nintendo did for both the GBA and DS. 

In fact it's timing hints strongly at a new Nintendo portable in 2016. 

The third and final revision of the DS was the DSi XL which launched in March 2010 in North America. The 3DS (the next-gen successor) launched in April 2011, 13 months later. 

I called a new Nintendo handheld revision this fall a while back, if they wanted to get one more model in before a 2016 Fusion launch they'd be launching it ... right as they are ... right on cue. Virtually the same schedule as the DS -- 3DS transition.

Keep in mind too that 3DS will still need to be stocked for years even after a hypothetical Fusion platform comes out. It will be the cheapo/budget option for parents, especially for kids who just want to get into the amiibo ecosystem. 

Wow, you're completely off the mark with that one XD

Care to explain? Which part of what he said is completely off the mark?
