2. They will explain it next year. Nintendo is a conservative company. So if they show new console, home or portable, next e3, they wont pull a dreamcast releasing it in 2016. They'll get it for 2017, gathering feedback from gamers and building relations with 3rd partys from scratch.

Even releasing 2017, they would be pulling a Dreamcas since PS4 and X1 won't get a sucessor until 2019-21. And an early announcement would also kill Wii U sales badly because that would just confirm that the console will be abandoned.

There isn't really a way to release a platform without killing Wii U and/or 3DS. They tried the "3rd pillar" thing once and just killed the GBA instead of complementing it. Home console kill the U, portable kills the 3DS, Fusion kills both at once.
