Have you seen the sales? And Nintendo is going to announce the NX next year. Plus, during 2014 Iwata mentioned they needed 2 years at least to change how we play or something like that. So, 2014 + 2 = 2016.


I am well aware of the sales, and the sales are better than last year. They arent losing money on the WiiU any more, they wont rush a new product. I believe they will reveal the console at next years E3 and have it ready by 2017. At least two years doesnt mean they will release it in 2016 and I will gladly make a bet about it ;)

Nintendo can't survive with those sales. And no, sales are not better. You should look the earnings reports. Last quarter, better than the current one, showed a pronunced decline on the 3DS hw sales while the Wii U bump was not as good as expected. They can't even meet the forecast of 3.6M. The forecasted for this FY a similar number.

In which universe a 3.6M forecast is for a console is good? And why would they want to keep investing in something like that until 2017? What kind of Nintendo fan will want their pain to continue 2 more years?


Prepare for dissapointment, they wont rush a new console. What kind of Nintendofan would want them to rush out a new "meh" product? 

Nintendo did some heavy investing as we know so obviously their cashflow took a beat but Nintendos total assets increased by almost 60 billion yen last year . I am sure they can handle another year of so-so sales beyond your expected release date of 2016. They will survive. No worries.
