They aren't that dunb to replace both at the same time. That would be economic nonsense. Deal with it. 3DS is going to be replaced next year and we have probably seen every Nintendo game for it.
Wii U successor will launch in 2017 and we'll get a ton of unannounced Wii U games until then.
That's almost fact. |
Actually, I think it would be the other way around. First thing to arrive is MyNintendo and mobile games. Then, the NX home console. If the NX trully is a fusion device, the handheld part will need as much power as it can get, to work well with HC software. So one year more to improve the hardware of the handheld might help to close the gap. Also, the system that needs an inmediat successor is the WiiU, the 3DS is still doing great. It's baseline is usually between 80k-110k per week, those numbers aren't low enough to need replacement.

You realize that 3DS sales are constantly falling? This platform has no future. Even Nintendo knows that. That's why they started releasing Spin-Offs and reusing engines. They don't put a lot effort in recent 3DS games. 3DS sales will be terrible in 2016. That's why they are going to replace it first. You don't trust me? Well, in one year you will remember my words while playing on your 3DS successor ;)

Well, of course it's falling, the system is reaching five years in the market. But even at its worst, 3DS sales trump over the WiiU's. Mobile might have hurt sales a lot, but the device still can sell 80-100k weekly, what is way more that what can be said for the U. They can afford making spin-offs, reusing engines and generally put less efford on the software because handheld games are less demanding, and also the 3DS has a decent 3rd party support (not perfect, but decent). 3DS sales will not be terrible. Weak? Yes, it's going to take a lot of time for the 3DS to reach something close to 70 million, but the sales won't be terrible. And even if they are, the 3DS is quickly reaching a point where everyone that might be interested in the system is getting one, so software sales will continue to be great, which is the thing Nintendo wants the most out of the 3DS.

Maybe you can answer me that question then: What's the point of buying a 3DS in 2016? Any reasons for doing that?
No, there aren't any reasons. Every person with some sort of mind bought this system long ago and all those Spin-Offs don't get anybody buying this system now.
