Not a chance, maybe we can see next handheld on Q4 2016 but no way we can see next home console same year, they need more time for preparing new console and games, especially because now they need to have very good launch with big games. |
It's not like it hasn't happened before. And it would be a year and a half, not a year. That's almost two years later. Apple releases multiple different peices of hardware each year to constant and massive success. No reason Nintendo can't do something similar. If Nintendo can release a new iteration every single year since the 3DS first came out, they can release it's successor a year later as well.
With a unified platform, they don't need time "preparing a new console and games." The whole purpose of a unified platform is to negate those artificial hangups. It'll effectively be the same as upgrading a PC. Same library, better hardware. They can still somewhat support the Wii U because it'll be BC. Because it's absorbing the Wii U's architecture, the games will just come out as developing for it will be similar enough, just like the GCN to Wii transition, a fact Nintendo themselves has already stated.
