Welp, they are already working on the software and the 3DS launched in early 2011. Considering a GBA-style lifespan (given worse sales for the 3DS in the west) and Nintendo's need for a new hardware platform due to staggering sales of the 3DS and U in the west, it's only logical. Also, if I remember the timeframe for the new business strategies announced at the same briefing (QoL, Unified API) were to come into motion within two years. |
A handheld sure. A home console, highly unlikely. Even if Nintendo were working on games for the next nintendo home console, that doesn't tell us much about a launch other then its in the next 4 years. The fault of the Wii U was partially that Nintendo only gave themselves to years to ready its launch window software and we saw what happened with that.
