That would be dumb on N8intendo's part. Nintendo needs something to replace the Wii U, not the 3DS.

just buy a wiiu, the new console wont be compatible anyways duetto it having x86. i am 93% sure it will

If they plan on third party support it better have...

So you're going to wait 2 years before the next console comes along?

The only reason Nintendo spoke about NX was to stop the press doom mongering about Nintendo becoming mobile only, and reassure fans that they are still heavily focused on dedicated gaming devices. Problem is the press are now doom mongering Nintendo replacing the Wii U since they spoke about NX. Nintendo doomed if you do and doomed if you don't.

They announced something. No one knows what, because Iwata makes very little sense when he talks.

chances are its a handheld though, so do out and buy that wii U :)

The Nintendo NX is just like the Nintendo Revolution, or the Nintendo Dolphin, or the Project Cafe; merely working titles for a console still in development with its release date years away.

Nintendo NX will probably be formally announced in 2016 with a 2017 release.

Wait for a price cut and do some research on the games you want. If it convinces you, go for it. NX will release most likely until holiday 2016.
