finally someone agrees i think i will soon make a thread about it..

The only problem with this theory is that they can't wait that long. There is no way to extend the life of the Wii U beyond 2016. Nintendo hasn't even hinted at any more major Wii U projects being in the works past Zelda U, and otherwise Wii U sales are not going to magically become passable for Nintendo. They need to leave the Wii U and everything "Wii" behind them, and unfortunately that's probably going to mean launching in the middle of the current generation. Nintendo has set themselves offbeat here, and I don't quite know how they're going to make things work when the rest of the game industry is operating on a different schedule than them. They can't really divorce themselves any further from the rest of the industry if they want to remain successful, but it seems impossible to postpone releasing new hardware until an opportune time unless they enjoy losing customers by letting the Wii U be dead with no word of any successor for potentially years.

I dont see why there needs to be a console in the first place even if Wii U is dead and sure they can make games for it people will buy it same way they do now. also they have a handheld in the works they can still make money. releasing a console mid gen would complicate things and in no way would make third parties board ship unless nintendo pays for it and they dont do that.
