Replacing the 3ds before the WiiU lacks.... Logic.

I just can't believe this one.

GBA got replaced before GCN, although the GBA sold way better. Same goes for NDS/Wii.

Every leak and rumour that's not been confirmed as a fake pointed out to the home console release, not the handheld one. Plus, Nintendo wants a port of Zelda U as a launch title, I don't know if a 2016 handheld can have a game that demanding at a relatively cheap price.  Plus Nintendo wouldn't want to kill the 3DS early, while the WiiU is already a niche product. Home console will come first.

When did Nintendo ever say that they want Zelda as a launch title? It is a Wii U exclusive game. You are saying things about Nintendo that aren't true. 3DS sales are falling. They even had to lower their forecast by 1 million. 3DS is not doing well. It will be replaced first.

If the 3DS isn't doing well, the WiiU is catastrophic. Even at its weakest, the 3DS is the device that is keeping most of Nintendos software and hardware sales this gen. Zelda U's constant delays and some of the most trustworthy leaks point to a Zelda U version on the NX as soon as they can.

Also, if the idea of a shared library is true, the handheld would need as much power as possible, so waiting a year for it to get better specs would be reasonable.
