You can't compare 64 to melee because 64 was such a small game compared to what it is now, it is such a behemoth these days that they can't just have a new game ready within 2 years. Smash 4 was such a huge undertaking and sakurai said the team had to push themselves to their limits. Trust me they're in no hurry to build a new game from scratch anytime soon.

The N64 version has nothing to do with it, Melee was made in UNDER 2 years. Brawl was made in just over 2 years (27months).
Smash Bros U AND 3DS only began production in spring 2012 and was made in 2 and a half years. If they could focus on 1 version it would have been 2 years or less and been far less stressful. Having made the transition to HD devlopment, the next game should be more comfortable for the team anyway
Ultimately they work on games, thats they're job- the team isn't going to spend the next year on holiday and I bet only a fraction of them are making the DLC as is the norm across game developement. The rest are hard at work (after a brief break I hope) on a new title.
Across Melee, Brawl and U, Smash Bros arrived within 2 years of the new systems arrival. Theres nothing supporting your logic of it arriving in 2020, as I said the games releases are determined by the arrival of new hardware, not a 5 year dev cycle. When there is not new hardware they work on other stuff like kirby and kid icarus.
Also maybe they won't make the next Smash from scratch...

Even if the Nx releases in 2016 i just can't see them making another smash untill 2020 because even then it would have to have began production in mid 2017 to be ready by 2020. You're saying it could be a launch game for NX, if the NX releases next year it means they would have to have started making smash5 before smash 4 was even released. This is simply not feasible They need time to rest then come up with new ideas and then make smash 5 when they are ready.
