I agree and I've had this suspicion as well.
One quick thought: Nintendo wants to unify its handheld and home console resources. If they released their next handheld in 2016 and pushed back the home console release the two platforms would be worlds apart in terms of power. Releasing the home console first, in 2016, makes sense: The Wii U is almost dead sales-wise and releasing late next year will give Nintendo another advantage: They can have a cheap new console that is still the most powerful piece of hardware on the market. If they play their cards right and make porting games easy this will guarantee them at least some third party support for the next three years (cheap ports of PS4 / XO games to stronger hardware). It will also make the power gap between the home console and handheld smaller.
It's been very telling we haven't seen Zelda or the next Retro game - or any other high profile first party title other than Starfox.
