Why is too early?
Nintendo already realased biggest IPs on Wii U (expect Zelda that will be realased next year), and Wii U sales are still bad, next year can be only worst than this year, not to mentione 2017 or 2018.
All points that Nintendo will release next hardware in 2016, maybe we could gate something in 2017 at the latest, but 2018 is definitely too late.
Nintendo home console usually have life span of 5 years, in NX home console arrive next year it will have life span just one year shorter than usual, original Xbox also had 4 years life span.

They haven't said what it is and nintendo hasn't done any marketing on it yet. If NX is a home console, it will need whatever major nintendo games they can throw into the launch to have any chance for it to turn out good. If the release zelda on it instead, they could "bother" some of the nintendo fans. Also the majority of nintendo home console's gen lasted 5 years til the previous one released and the new one released. Nintendo hasn't deviated from that launch pattern in a long time. The wii u released at the tail end of 2012. So 2016 is too early even if you count releasing at the end of 2012 as a full year. 2017 or 2018 are the likely launch period.

Why would they need to make any marketing if console is arriving in 15 months!? If they start marketing NX 3DS and Wii U sales would completely stopped right before holiday season, it would be pretty stupid decision. We didn't have any marketing for PS4 and XboxOne too in that time.
They will have new 3D Mario for launch and Zelda U port, Retros game for launch of first year, sales go for Next Level game.
Yes, Wii U will probably have 4 years life span instead 5, one year less isnt big deal if we have worst selling Nintendo console ever. Like I said, maybe we can have new hardware in 2017 (but all points that in 2016 we are getting new hardware), but there is no chance that Nintendo will keep Wii U till 2018. without successor.
