Assuming the rumors are true and the NX is a home console and not an handheld and is realeasing end of 2016:

It would mean that the Wii U only lasted 4 years on the market, and even less in term of developpment effort seeing that Nintendo practically stopped developping for the Wii U as only Zelda will be released as a new significant game. That reduce the Wii U life to 3 years.

Even the GC had a longer life.

Nintendo could have supported the Wii U for 1-2 more years, realeasing software and waiting to release a new console for the next generation.

SEGA did the same move with the Saturn and it hurt their brand because their consumers wouldn't be sure their next console would be supported.

We still did not got games like a proper 3D Mario, a Paper Mario , an Animal Crossing and Zelda is taking forever to developp and may even be released  on the NX too.

Wii U will get some big games in 2016. so thats 4 years, not 3. And GC fifty year was terrible. Aslo MS kiled original Xbox after 4 years, I dont see that dameged brand at all.

And yes, 3D Mario World is proper 3D Mario game.
