And where's Skyward Sword on Wii U then? That game only sold 3 million units.

Zelda Wii U can sell around 4 million units after its launch in 2016. Later when the NX home console launches in 2017 they port it over to that and attach non-Wii U-owners and Wii U owners who rebuy the game -> more sales.

And even if it remains a Wii U exclusive: It will most likely be profitable with 4 million units sold.

Are you comparing now the Wii to the Wii U? The Wii sold 100M devices, Wii U only 10M. Even if SS flopped, they still have a lot of money. Now, they don't. They are not going to give Wii U another year. They have sold so poor in this year that in 2017 they are going to have negative sales at this rate. No. There's absolutely nothing that points NX to be released in 2017. Nothing. The few rumors or hints points a 2016 which makes sense.

2017? No sense. What benefits will they get to wait until 2017? I'm very curious.

Did you visit a school where you have learned reading? I don't think so...

I explained it a few posts before. Nintendo is also not the company that wants to push out new hardware just that they have it out.

And what influence has the install base on Skyward Sword sales and Zelda Wii U sales? Right, almost none. They can easily top Skyward Sword's sales with Zelda Wii U on the Wii U if they do it right. And system sales have improved this year! And as I said (if you would read it) there are many IPs that weren't on the Wii U yet, new IPs that can push hardware sales. The 3DS doesn't have that. They also need to get back the consumers' trust in the company. If they don't show how they handle the Wii U consumer-friendly many people will refuse to buy the NX (including myself).

It's 2017. Just deal with it. As I said before: Nintendo can't fullfill all fans' dreams. They are a company that needs to make profit and a 2017 home console release fits perfectly then.

Basically you don't have any argument to prove that Nintendo gets a benefit for releasing in 2017. Just that you want in that year. But as you said, Nintendo doesn't live to fans's dreams, they live from money, and Wii U is not going to do money, so they just have to move to the next project. NX in 2016.
