The only news to expect this year is a "delay" with announcement of a full announcement in March instead of actual launch.

Expecting a "delay" around VGX in December, during all the other game news and PSX the news of a NX delay will be easier to stomach.

Nintendo will officially reveal the console in March 2017

Launch in Fall 2017

NX was likely never planned for a March release in the first place. Think about it, software for Wii U dries out, production has ceased, but to please investors this year and delay the bad news of bad Wii U support Nintendo claimed they WILL have a new platform by Q1 2017.

Your conclusion is flawed. Why would any company discontinue a product line without definite plans of its successor? Nintendo had planned on NX being launched this holiday and at E3 they basically announced the delayed March launch to allow finalization of possibly hardware and definitely software.

Because they know there is enough Wii Us out in circulation. If it sells roughly a million a year and you got 3 million in the market, there really is no need to keep producing the machine (just an example). You cut a TON of production losses and overstock by stopping production. 

 

I mean, if you have more than what you need on the market, why continue production?
