Third party devs only bail out on Nintendo because of sales, not hardware specs. Sales are all they care about.
Since when did third party games even sell well on Nintendo systems?

Do you honestly not get it?
Ownership of a Wii U doesn't exclude ownership of other gaming options. People will ask themselves if the Wii U had enough games for itself to have been worth their investment. Somebody who owns a Wii U and PS4 isn't going to look at the Wii U and dismiss it because of third party titles that are not on the Wii U; said third party games were going to be bought for the PS4 all along, so it doesn't matter whether or not they were available for the Wii U as well. In other words, the absence of third party content doesn't nullify the presence of first party content which already justified the Wii U investment. And if the games justified the console purchase, then you'll be okay with a new system being launched. The conclusion is all the same if you only own a Wii U.
Is that sort of judgment free of bias? Of course it's not. The people who decide whether a console was worth the investment are the individuals themselves, and someone who doesn't like Grand Theft Auto won't care if the game was never available for the system in question.

I agree.
But then, you are contradicting yourself with this type of comments:
"It's simple, really. The Wii U is home to some of the best games of this generation and the system didn't need three years to have a somewhat acceptable library of exclusives."
I just want the best for Nintendo, and like i previously said, if the fusion of handheld and console will make them focus entirely on a single platform, that would be the best case scenario for them and for us gamers.

Not if it means pulling a Dreamcast. Yes I now about the Xbox 360 and DS argument, but it won't work for the NX.
They need to wait till 2017 to do it so that they have more time to finalize everything hardware-wise. You want them to release an underpowered system in 2016, or a perfectly capable system in 2017?

It wouldn't be too early to release the NX when you consider that there's probably going to be a handheld and console variant. The 3DS is on its sixth year and needs to be replaced so a holiday 2016 release of the NX handheld and a 1st half 2017 console release would be fine.
