To him, it won't really matter. Young children aren't nearly as caught up in the console warz as we adults are. Unless NX has a killer app right out the gate, your 4 your old probably won't give a damn about the NX and whether the WiiU is considered a new console or old.
Children just want the console that plays the games they most want to play. How novel is that? ;)
Believe it or not, millions of children are still very satisfied with the original Wii as their Nintendo system. Wii U will do just fine for your kid.
I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
