Would you like to go on the record and predict when the NX will Launch?

[Soundwave]

Ultimately it doesn't really even matter that much. Fall 2016 or spring 2017 ... no big difference.

It's not as if the Wii U is magically going to get a new Metroid and Paper Mario and Animal Crossing because the NX comes in 2017 some time.

Game development internally at Nintendo has to be focused on the

1.) The 3DS successor
2.) NX, if it's a separate home console
3.) Smartphone games
4.) Wii U/3DS

3DS successor is the most important of all of them. If that fails, then Nintendo is probably going third party and you can stop worrying about the consoles period, because without portables, Nintendo would've been third party already.
