Talking about Smart decisions the smartest Nintendo could take is to release NX in 2016. they already tested the waters back in 2006 with the Wii and TP, I don't really know why they should wait that long to give it a timed exclusivity, moreover to release it on the same date on both consoles is the best choice for everyone including Nintendo:

-Wii U owners will get the game they were supposed to get;

-Wii U owners will get the opportunity to chose between playing the "worse" version on the console they already own or to pick up the best one on the NX, in the first case they save money, in the second one they get a better game, win-win;

-Diehard Zelda fans will get both versions;

-Non Wii U owners won't have to wait to get the game and more importantly won't get spoiled by any mean on the game;

-NX will have a big title in the first weeks after it's launch, if not on the Day One;

and the list goes on...

It would be completely dumb to release the next home console in 2016. We discussed that before.

And trust me, I'm a dieharc Zelda fan and I won't buy both versions at the same time aka in 2016.

And some Wii U may still be angry (including my own) because the console is worthless for them if they have mainly bought it for Zelda. If Nintendo releases Zelda on both consoles simultaneously than I'm out and will refuse to buy any of their products in the future.

Yeah, shure, it's dumb to replace a commercial failure after 4 years of it's life when the expected lifetime was 5 years, If I were a Wii U owner I would certainly be ashamed instead of understanding that Nintendo can't keep working on a system that makes such little revenue and if they were to support it until the end of 2017 there would have to be LOTS of other droughts and shitty spin-offs like Amiibo Festival that could possibly damage Nintendo's reputation for High quality software irreversibly.

If you look at what Nintendo is doing you can clearly understand that NX is coming out in 2016, Febbruary 2017 at the latest. It's the best thing that could happen for you Wii U owners too, Nintendo back in 2012 probably planned a schedule of 5 years, due to the sales problems the last two years will be rushed in a single one it beeing 2016 as you can tell by the large ammount of games coming out next year.
