1: Yes it would exist, and it would probably have been revealed this year as well. Heck the only difference COULD be if it does drop this year. If the Wii U was successful a 2017 release would be assured instead of questioned. I think the days of over 5 years of support for a console is gone (THANK GOD!)

Nintendo's successful consoles (NES, SNES and Wii) had lifespans of 7,5, 5,5, and 6 years respectively. If we go by the shortest one of the bunch, the 5,5 years, that would put NX into 2018.

I'm a little confused with how you worded it, but 5 years would be 2017 (It released 2012. 2+5=7. Not trying to be a jerk or anything).
