You don't know we're 12 months away from NX. I'm sick of people treating it being a 2016 release as fact when we have literally been given NOTHING to indicate that yet. If anything, the fact that we're still getting big releases on Wii U proves it's more than a year away, since as you yourself are arguing Nintnedo likes to leave their system for dead for a solid 18 months or so before the next. 

This E3 was practically confirmation that NX is next year; not a single major new game announced for Wii U. All it has left now besides Zelda is late ports/localizations and low budget filler.

Waiting until 2017 is not an option for Nintendo at this point, but then they'd be sunk.

That November Direct was basically the nail in the coffin. They should have shown some big new Wii U projects coming in 2016 but again -- nothing but a port of a Pokken arcade game that's already finished (for arcades). 

That and the report of NX dev kits being out already pretty much seal it. Nintendo wouldn't start giving third parties dev kits two years in advance.
