you didnt get.

im not considering 3DS and wii U to get support in the same time of NX. im considering they will stop supporting wii U and 3DS and focus on NX, starting in 2016. But it is not yet the time for 9th gen. NX would be competing with ps4 and xbox one, so NX is still an 8th console, despite 3ds and wii U are too.


So the Xbox 360 wasn't 7th gen until the Wii n PS3 released? lol it may be super early in arbitrary time rules, but it's still a successor to Wii U n  3DS, hence 9th gen. It'll eventually be competeing with PS5 n XboxTwo... maybe. :L

Agreed. Releasing a new console and expecting people to look at it as another "new" 8th gen platform would only further confuse the fanbase they have left, and would be hard to gain a new install base before the 9th gen has released. It'd be better to stick it out with the Wii U and come out with Metroid, F Zero, Pikmin 4, a real Animal Crossing, funded 3rd party, ect. Now that they actually have an engine for Wii U, these smaller titles should take less time to create. Star Fox (when real development for it began) has only taken about a year and a half, and given how many EAD teams should have started new projects by now there could be quite a few games on the horizon (if this is the direction they took).  

If they release new hardware, it needs to be what their vision is for Gen 9. As I said before, I'm completely expecting a repeat of E3 2011 where they have a big LoZ 30th anniversary thing, then talk about the NX (which I believe will release a year after showing like Wii U).
