Can you please enlighten me why R&D on a system has to take a few years?

maybe it doesnt have to take a few years but historically it always has and there is nothing to suggest this is going to change.

I added an edit to the previous post. As I said, it's entirely possible that all of the underlying technology needed to create a product that they "totally don't intend on making" is in development as we speak. It's entirely plausible that such a product if it did exist in some form would be denied outright because it would undoubtedly affect 3DS sales until it's release.

See for example:

http://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/consoles/nintendo-nx-release-will-reportedly-spell-an-early-end-for-the-wii-u-1317595

and

https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/nintendo-denies-end-of-wii-u-production-this-week-2/

See that's the biggest problem with PR speak. It's completely unreliable on both sides of the coin, and should never be used to completely dismiss possibilities.
