I think it HAS to come out in 2016 (both for their projections to be accurate and for them to do well). People claiming it will come out 2017 or 2018 because Nintendo TYPICALLY releases a device every 4-5 years aren't paying attention to the fact that the Wii U is a FAILURE (don't get me wrong, I love it). They need to reinsert themselves into the market with a fresh device that will captivate people before the ps4/xbone get too much market share. And the 3ds would be SUPER old if they didn't release a handheld until 2017 or 2018 (all the more reason I suspect a fusion device).
Nintendo wants to make money and they certainly aren't going to make much, if any, off keeping the Wii U going for a couple more years (no matter HOW many games they put on it, it's dead).
