2016 would be a terrible move.

Why so?

Terrible is a strong word..

Waiting til your system is literally not selling is quite a bad move and 3DS is down YOY everywhere I believe and software is drying up, theres no reason why the in 2 years time it will still be selling like hotcakes. Introduce a successor a few years into its decline seems the smarter move, as opposed to releasing it after the system is dead.

Because as others have pointed out it's very similar to what they did with the DSi XL --> 3DS, and that was a mistake. 3DS successor needs some breathing room. Otherwise all the air will have been sucked up by the New 3DS.
