This is fake simply because they re saying handheld replacement before home console.
I dont buy that at all... the 3DS is in a much better place than the Wii U.

Wii U needs to be replaced more than the 3DS does.
Also those rumors of them stopping manufacturing of the Wii U soon... yeah they need a new console out before 2017.

3DS isn't in a good place. Sales are falling and Nintendo had to lower their forecast. It's about to die. And lol, if Nintendo launches an new home console this year when the PS4k, PSVR and maybe the new Xbox launch, it will be dead on arrival. Nintendo wouldn't risk that. After the Wii U they will go the safe path and launch it in 2017.

Still 3DS sales are WAAAAAAY better than Wii U ones and certainly are making profits for Nintendo, PS4k is anything but confirmed, PSVR isn't a thread since as of now it can only have an instal base of 40M people and Phil Spencer explained that his wording wasn't meant to say that they are working on new hardware. Also who says that if said consoles were to happen NX couldn't be on the same level as them ?
