But why would it take less time the next time around? They'd still have to learn a new system like they did with Wii U, and if they just recycled current gen assets, they would kill a lot of the wow factor the series is known for.

You didn't read the OP at all, did you? they wouldn't be hindered by HD development anymore. and I'm not saying they would re use every asset, just keep the engine and basic stuff to make it faster. the final product would still look much better than xeno X. and remember nintendo said the next system would incorporate wii u's architeture.

Actually I did read it.

A higher grade of hardware would still require them to adapt to a new level of graphics and complexity. Unless you expect their next system not to be a huge leap over Wii U technically? Which actually wouldn't surprise me if they do go for the Fusion concept.

Even on the Wii, the first Xenoblade was in production for years. There's no way a third on the level of XCX or above could be finished before 2018, and there's no way Nintendo is waiting until 2018 to replace Wii U.
