Who says that a console launch is profitable in the first place? The wiiu launch wasnt profitable in its year

The faster you launch something and the faster it takes off, the faster you get to get to a high profit zone. 

3DS is winding down, it's pretty obvious that even the N3DS model has not boosted sales in the long term. They need something else to drive their profitibility. 

Waiting until 2017 means Nintendo is waiting until at least 2018 or 2019 in that case to realize solid profits again.
