"As proof that Nintendo maintains strong enthusiasm for the dedicated game system business, let me confirm that Nintendo is currently developing a dedicated game platform with a brand-new concept under the development codename 'NX,'" Iwata said.

"We'll talk more about our next system, code named Nintendo NX, in 2016," Fils-Aime



Statements like this is all nintendo give us. Because they dont want to say late 2016 or early 2017, there will be a new consol. Why dont they want to say that? because they want to sell all the Wii U they have made, or as many as they can before then.

If it was still more than 1-2 years away, nintendo would have no problem giveing a vague year of release reference.
New consol out in 2018 (like 3 years from now) is so far away it couldnt possibly hurt wii U sales.

So why havnt they given a real date? like 2018? because its comeing out earlier than that.

Its just a question if you believe it ll be 2016 or 2017 at this point.

Anyways thats what I think (its not something I know).
