It is not a replacement it's a successor to most likely the 3DS and it's just not the time for it to be shown

Interesting. So what exactly is the difference then between a replacement and a successor? Isn't the newest console always a successor? When is a console ever 'replaced?'

Take the DS:

DS => replaced by DSLite => replaced by DSi. The actual successor was the 3DS, which has been replaced by the New3DS.

I see. So Iwata is basically confirming that NX is not a continuation of the 3DS or Wii U line then.
