If the NX doesn't come out in 2016, where will the "Nintendo-like" profits come from?

NX will not be released till late 2017 or even early 2018 imo.
And I think that even the 3DS will have its successor in 2018. If they start to give big exclusives to the N3DS like they did with the GBC, the DS family can still live a couple of years with great sales :)

Did you even look at the sales numbers from above? Those aren't "great sales", those are Nintendo's worst sales since 1987 back when the NES was just starting to get full distribution in the US and the GameBoy/dedicated portable line didn't even exist back then. 

That's where their sales are headed. No chance in hell Nintendo waits until 2018. Their shareholders will revolt against them.
