I just don't see Wii U lasting till late 2017. Three more years! Sales are already bad now, I can't imagine how they'll be in 2017.

That's a fair observation, but at the same time there is one thing, if nothing else, that should be expected from Nintendo for their next console: A properly planned stream of software releases, because the lack of it hampered both the 3DS and Wii U any way you analyze the shortcomings of these two systems. With that in mind, late 2016 is the earliest point in time for a successor, regardless of how atrocious Wii U sales are going to be. After all, they still have a bunch of big Wii U titles in development and have to prepare for the 3DS successor as well.

To be fair, I don't expect Wii U earlier than late 2016 either, so I worded my first post wrong. Next year seems early and 2017 late, so I guess I expect it to launch in 2016.
