Releasing the NX within a short six month time frame would be next to impossible at this point.
I think the NX is the best possible name for the new Nintendo system. Like other people said, they need to market to 90's nostolgia. This name helps with that. X-men, X-Files, Gen X, eXtreme, etc. They need to keep that name for sure. If they went with Soundwave's idea of multiple SKUs, then they could call the different models NX1 NX2 and NX3. *Superscript isn't working. Basically, 1, 2, and 3, would be exponents, and not normal sized numbers.
I think the rest of your plans, involves demanding unreasonable things from your dev teams. A lot of work goes into making a good video game. If you want that many games, that quickly, while splitting dev teams, all you are going to do is create a death march, for your developers. Nobody likes working twelve hour shifts, for months at a time, even if it is for a video game.

Imho it's really plausible to release it within 6 months with an E3 announcement...
NX is shurely a good name but since Nintendo ALWAYS changed their codenames they'll have to find another one
I don't see where I asked unreasonable things from the dev teams: I only split the Retro one and gave all of them reasonable ammounts of time, plus I'd provide them more funds so that they can hire additional devs to deliver the listed games in the requested timeframes...

Retro has about 100 employees and has been reported seeking more in recent years. How much do you think do they need to hire to get 2 development teams within that time span you suggested? Plus, do you really think they want to develop another Prime game? From what I've heard, they wanted to develop Tropical Freeze (same thing with Returns), even though consumers didn't want them to. For morale purposes, I would let them choose to do whatever they want to do and not just ask them to do Prime 4 and it seems like it will go that way according to rumors about their current project.
Also, I disagree with Next Level Games dropping Federation Force. I would want them to continue that project while doing something else (whether its 2D Metroid or not). Tanabe really wanted to work on this project so just dropping it would not bold well in terms of morale. Sure, its not what fans wanted, but if the producer really wants to do this and there are no fundamental problems in development, I would wait it out to see how the full game develops. They can work on 2D Metroid later on, but for now, FF should at least be completed.
Fun fact: Next Level Games decided to develop this game on 3DS instead on Wii U because they were familiar with the system (Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon).
