The NX probably will not be out till 2017 at the earliest, releasing it in 2016 would be a dumb idea for them if its a home console because it would be too soon of a release to the Wii U. The NX is more than likely Nintendo's next handheld than the home console, and I really doubt Nintendo is going to delay Zelda U into 2017 when between now and then they could create a kickass 3D Mario game to be a launch title for that system that would probably sell more than what Zelda U could hope to.

How is 4 years too soon?

Sega Genesis released 3 years after Master System and went on to be Sega's best selling hardware ever.

Nintendo DS released 3.5 years after Gameboy Advance and went on the be Nintendo's best selling hardware ever.

Xbox 360 released 4 years after Xbox and went on to sell 60 million more than the original.

Obviously things aren't working out for Nintendo with Wii U, why keep it going for 3 million sales per year? By holiday 2016, Nintendo will have published about 45 games for Wii U, which is pretty much the same amount they did for N64 & GC so u can't try claiming they didn't support it.

Sometimes it's best to learn from ur mistakes and start over.

When it comes to releasing new consoles when your old one isn't doing too well SEGA isn't the shining example of that.
Nintendo is known for supporting their home consoles for at least 5 years. Nintendo is not in a position to hurt consumer trust. As a Wii U owner I would not buy the NX if it dropped next year at all. Because how do I know Nintendo isn't going to abandon ship on that one if things start going south? Not many people would be too keen that after buying a PS4 or XBO that they would have to run out and buy the PS5 and the XB2(?) 3-4 years later. And like I have said many times if anything the NX is more than likely Nintendo's next handheld system and not home console as it fits more of the criteria for handhelds than it does for the home console. Also for the fact we won't be seeing it till mid next year also tells me we won't see a solid release for it till the following year.
