Confused as to why people think NX is launching in 2017. Nothing about Nintendo's actions seem to suggest that Nintendo is prepared to support the Wii U for another 2 years. Like 2 games for it were announced at E3, and most of its 2016 lineup is games that were delayed from 2015. They're already talking up the NX very publicly, and announcing it (officially) in 2016 and launching in 2017 would basically give them a lame duck holiday season.

2016 is much more likely IMO.
