to answer the question that this thread poses, i do think that a 2016 release wouldnt be the product we are looking for. nintendo usually takes a good while in developing these projects, and this would be a very short cycle for the proper time and care to be put into a console.
because of this, i have always been a firm believer that the wii u's successor will come out 2017 or later. i honestly would be shocked if we get a 2016 release. the last time something like that happened we got the xbox 360. although this system will be remembered as microsoft's best console, let's be honest here, it was rushed to the market and horribly, horribly built. nintendo builds really reliable hardware. that is one of their focuses and priorities. again, a 2016 release would just be... very very surprising to me.
