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.

I don't see why people still believe there will be a new console in 2016. Remember Wii U's launch? It was silent. If you release it in 2016, nobody would care for it. It would be another. Nintendo doesn't want that. And I said it before: thr next home console launch in late 2017. That's almost fact. Deal with it.

And where on earth is it good that Nintendo betrays Wii U owners? They will loose a lot of consumers' trust with a 2016 release.


You're right on one thing: Wii U's launch was silent, and that's why Nintendo is already teasing us with the NX, with past consoles there weren't this many news regarding the console before it was even officially announced, now we already have a small list of 3/4 titles that are almost confirmed for the system, plus we have lots of patents that were registered in the last few months. If Nintendo were to launch their next console in 2017 why would most of their development teams be already developing for the NX when the Wii U has still 2 years to live ? 

Releasing the system in 2016 is also a clever move due to the competition: in 2013 both PS4 and X1 will be only 3 years old meaning that the NX (if released with proper specs) will be leading hardware-wise for AT LEAST two years...
