But I don't think Nintendo gives really a huge shit anymore if Wii U only ships say 2.8 million in a fiscal year versus say 3.4 million. No one cares. Even shareholders don't give a crap anymore because all that pressure is off Nintendo, they're too giddy about the smartphone news to care. 

It's not like "OMG! What are we going to sell the Wii U with for 2016!!!" is something that keeps Iwata awake at night in terror. So what if they don't have some killer lineup for 2016. Provided they can slap together even 7-8 decent titles is good enough. 

It's really all much ado about nothing, like a short guy who gets all fussed for someone saying he's 5'2 instead of 5'3. Who cares man, you're short either way. The Wii U is what it is, it's not fooling anyone, it's not like anyone was under some impression that it was some great success and a poor 2016 may (gasp) clue them in to the truth. 

The fact is Nintendo's supported the Wii U better than most companies would have through 2015 it's 1st/2nd party library is virtually as good as the Wii through 2010 (maybe better honestly) which sold far, far better. Is Sony still supporting the Vita? So I think people should get off Nintendo's case. Nintendo doesn't have to do much more for the Wii U, what they've done through 2015 as is is probably more than it deserverd. 

The year of 2016, not just E3, will focus on Wii U as well. It really depends on how far Nintendo will go with its NX.

E3 2016 will obviously have some Wii U focus but ya this year will likely be the last big blowout of Wii U titles. They will want to give a heavy focus to NX whether it comes out in 2016 or 2017.

Look at E3 2011, it was where they formally introduced Wii U and what major Wii titles were shown? Skyward Sword, Mario Party 9, Fortune Street and Return to Dreamland. Expect something similar for Wii U at next year's E3.

Pretty much this. It was last May, a few weeks before Mario Kart released, that Iwata said they wouldn't move on from Wii U until their core fanbase was pleased. Well let's look at what major titles have released from that point until the end of this year

Mario Kart 8

Hyrule Warriors

Bayonetta 2

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse

Mario Party 10

Splatoon

Xenoblade Chronicles X

Yoshi's Woolly World

Mario Maker

Star Fox

Devil's Third

Legend of Zelda

Add in a handful of 2016 titles that Nintendo has yet to announce and the titles released before Iwata made that statement, there is no way any Nintendo fan can say they aren't happy with the Wii U lineup.

The original Wii was a gargantuan success for Nintendo though, selling over 100 million consoles making it the second best selling home console ever and absolutely smashing Nintendo's previous home console sales. The Wii U is selling 50,000 units per week outside of Christmas season and the odd major Nintendo title(MK8 etc). I don't see a full 6 year cycle this time, no chance. The N64 and GCN had less than 5 years each.

Satoru Iwata already admitted that Wii U is not people’s first console of choice, and that's mean he ready to focus on the new system, Wii will not left behind without suppot,Wii U will still get another support even after NX released, and also Nintendo also had a lot of resource so they can divide their resource into two which are the one who preparing for the new system launch (hardware, software, marketing, PR, etc) and the one that supporting current system (Wii U, 3DS).

There's just so much wrong. your words show no understanding of how a company works.

Nintendo cares a lot about wii u's sales, and they certainly will try to get much more than "3 million" a year while profiting. Their support was what most companies SHOULD do, and is certainly not "more than the system deserved" (unless you think gamers don't deserve games). Their software and hardware sales are their main source of income but you are dismissing it.

Nah, at the earliest, E3 2016 will be the last dedicated to the Wii U.

LMAO.

2017/2018.

Actually, the focus on 3DS is more likely the reason Nintendo struggled to get their earlier Wii U titles out the door on time. They clearly threw all their resources at the 3DS in 2011.

As you also say, they then panicked and have thrown most of their resources at the Wii U leaving the 3DS without much of note outside the expected releases. This is why they need that unified architechture. I can't wait.
