It would not be rushing, PS4 was officially revealed in Feb 2013 and released in Nov 2013, XB1 was officially revealed in May 2013 and released in Nov 2013, neither of these were rushed.

And gimmick free too. NX is something totally, different. Wii U was totally different from PS4 and Xone but it was unveiled in 2012 and released in 2013. There's no concrete chonology of course, but it just seems wiser on Nintendo's part because we know this could be ANYTHING. Not simply a souped up console like PS3>>PS4. They need time to flesh this thing out. No, a console shouldn't need an insane amount of time for the audience to understand, but with NX...I'm actually scared about what they're doing concept wise. I would rather ease into it.

Then how do you propose they get through 2017?
Keep in mind that even 2016 is filled with nothing but delayed games from 2015, or ports that were agreed upon/started development in 2013.
Just games of the quality of Amiibo Party and Mario Tennis all the way through 2017? Will that really cut it for WiiU owners?
Nintendo haven't shown any sign of investing in any new quality titles for WiiU since E3 2014. That's a long time of silence. As you presumed, that's probably because they have people working on NX games. Retro's last game came out Feb 2014. That would give them over 2.5 years to produce something for NX. The team that made Mario Galaxy 2, their last game came out Nov 2014. That gives them around 2 years. They could also get resources from the team who did Mario Galaxy 1, as they finished their last game at about the same time.

Not a question that I can answer. Try Nintendo instead. They said they wouldn't abandon Wii U owners just yet. Maybe they're planning some more games for next year. Who knows. 3DS has some good titles coming next year so it'll edge it out along with some surprises at E3. Wii U...anthing could happen.
