Um......yes they are 3DS+Wii U shipments FY March 2013-17.40 million 3DS+Wii U shipments FY March 2014-14.96 million 3DS+Wii U shipments FY March 2015-12.11 million 3DS+Wii U shipments FY March 2016-11.00 million (Nintendo projections but they have been wrong in the previous 3+ years so likely between 10-11 million) 3DS+Wii U shipments FY March 2017-8.00 million (my prediction based on previous years) Nintendo is certainly in no position to wait until Holiday 2017 or later to release new hardware. |
So far in 2015, it's flat YOY. And the numbers you show (even the "future" ones) show a slow decline, not a fast one like it was mentioned on the post I quoted.
Nintendo can wait for up to early 2017 to release a new handheld, but 2016 is indeed ideal. Next home console should come in 2017.
