If nx is a home console and they launched it in 2016, I would say, "That's asinine of nintendo to launch a next gen console when this gen isn't even past the halfway point."

The better question would be "what happens if it turns out to be a 2017 release?"

 


Assuming a standard five year cycle, Nintendo's is 80% over this november, not half. The company has released two consoles (SNES and Wii-U) on a six year cycle and three on a five year cycle (N64, Gamecube and Wii). So really, releasing this November isn't that big a deal.

 

To most gamers, we're only 2 years into this gen because to them, this gen started in 2013 and not when wii u launched. It is roughly the halfway point of the gen either way.
