Because it's a given the next system will perform better? I'm not sure if that is sarcasm or not, but it didn't seem to do it for SEGA. Why would it work for Nintendo. Releasing another mid-gen system is going to end up in failure once again... unless it has a gimick that appeals to the casual market.

Better to attempt with a product that might have a shot rather than continue pressing a product that already failed badly. There are no guarantees for the NX; but there is for the Wii U, we know it will never perform well or even make them any decent amount of money, so there's little sense in keeping it around much longer.

It's kind of like saying that cancer surgery is futile because there's no guarantee for survival; this makes little sense if you know you'll die without it.

You are assuming the NX will perform better or make them more money. I am not convinced that is the case.

In this case. To cure the cancer you have to hold on a bit longer till you can cure it. And they won't die by continuing for a couple of years so they can have a launch at the same time as the competitiors with an infrastructure and hardware to compete. 

If the NX is a home console, i am convinced it will fail harder than the Wii U. Why would anyone buy it after beeing burned by the Wii U? Tell me wich audience is this that didnt buy the Wii U but will buy the NX, and wich audience is this that bought the Wii U and saw it end early and will jump on the NX? I would just like to see who are these mysterious audiences.
