But WiiU sales was hurt by the NX talk.. becourse people (at least me) wait to see what it is.. and when it comes.. So (imo) it could hurt PS4 momentum.. Not just if Sony talk more about a stronger PS4.. but also when (if) PS4.5 comes.. Some may think its better to wait for PS5

A fucking fly on someones wall would slow Wii U sales at this point.

I don't get that argument though. So what if people are holding back buying PS4s to wait for the better version? How would it hurt Sony if they don't buy the PS4 and instead the PS4.5. Not only that but everyone who was still on the fence would buy it. In the end it's great publicity and will overall increase net sales.

It's the same with NX. If anything Nintendo would be glad that Wii U sales drop because of NX, because that means there are still people who would actually buy their new console.

One of console gamings defining qualities are the long refresh cycles and benefits that come with optimization for a static platform, such as stability, support, cost saving on incremental upgrades etc. This new way of releasing products might turn a lot of gamers off.
