Yes! You're not to get proof until Nintendo shows it. So, why not wait for the announcement rather than trying to pass fantasy for fact(not saying you specifically, but several people)? None of this has even been hinted by Nintendo. The whole fusion thing for example, completely made up in the internet and people pass it as fact.

Its not. Just understand that we know nothing and wait for the unveil. Discussing it is all and good, but there is nowhere to draw certainties from.

I don't know where you are seeing horror though. Are you looking at this as these things are beeing said cause people have a personal wish for the Wii U to carry on? As far as i know Nintendo themselves have also said that they will continue to support the Wii U. So, who knows? All we know is that they will reveal "details" about the NX this year. Thats it. 

So, i do wish we would dial it back and wait until we know what the NX actually is. But... the internet.

Thing is you keep saying "these are coming from nowhere" but they're not. They're coming from comments direct from Iwata (with regards to the unification stuff and wanting a new definition of video games ready for about 2016, he even gave a direct time line), patent leaks, reports from reliable, proven sources (ie: Nikkei has a proven track record with Nintendo stories, they are the ones reporting that NX dev kits were given to third parties a few months ago). 

It's not like people randomly making these things up from out of thin air. There's an awful lot of smoke here and a fairly estbalished pattern of behavior from Nintendo as to how they act when they have moved on from a console (Wii U has all the tell tale signs of Nintendo bailing out on it). 

 

It is coming out of nowhere. Its wild interpretation of what he said. Nintendo put their teams in the same building so they could share tech and resources towards speeding up development on all projects and have easier generational transitions. This looking at how much Nintendo HD games get delayed is obviously a good idea because they aren't confortable with it.

He did not say: "Oh and were gonna have the same system with 2 versions". The whole apple thing of constant iterations is a pipe dream of hardware manufacturers. It will NEVER work on the console market.
