Going by nintendo's history of console and handheld releases, Nintendo for the most part follows a pattern or schedule. There's no reason for them to release hardware early. If they shorten their present hardware gen because of bad sales, it will only lower the percieved value in owning nintendo hardware.


What trend are u using for handhelds? Gameboy went 12 years without a successor, GBA 3.5 years, DS 6.5 years, there is absolutely no way to predict when 3DS will get a successor based on previous generations.

Go back and look at previous console support from Nintendo after the 4th year. N64/GC/Wii each had a whopping 2-3 semi-major titles release in the 5th year, do u really think Wii U owners will be mad because they missed out in 2-3 games over the course of 1-2 years?

The nintendo handheld gens are alot longer than consoles generally. That fits right along with 2016 being too early but you could be right with a handheld releasing then but I highly doubt it.

If it's true nintendo only supports their consoles with 2 to 3 games in their consoles' last half of its lifecycle then nintendo fans have a lot to be mad over than a handful of games because nintendo should be pumping out alot more games to support it's fans.
