Yes, but at end of next year will be 4 years.

Amiibo's and Zelda U

I know economic numbers are much "smoke and mirrors" but it seems that this year Nintendo and Ubisoft are getting the same results. If that is good or bad I do not know.

Ubisoft reports €1.46 billion ($1.63 billion) in sales for this year, up from €1 billion ($1.12 billion) in the last fiscal year. Operating income jumped from a loss of €65.6 million ($73.2 million) last year to a positive result of €170.1 million ($189.9 million).

Today, Nintendo disclosed net sales of $4.61 billion (5.49 billion yen) and an operating income of $207.83 million for the fiscal year that ended March 31, 2015    http://www.polygon.com/2015/5/7/8564943/nintendo-profit-fiscal-year-2015-financial-results

Iwata said Nintendo-like profits is 100 billion yen, that's more like what they made annually from 1991-2006.

Software sales on consoles + mobile, new handheld, hardware sales getting more profitable as time goes on...

EDIT: Zorg is correct, Nintendo-like profits means Nintendo's normal level of profit from the 90s/2000s - usually in $500 million (OK year) to $1 billion (good year) range. Wii/DS are not the norm obviously. 

So, 2017 then

I'm not sure if people who says NX isn't coming in 2016 believe in this or they just wish it doesn't.

At this point I believe, Nintendo can't wait to leave the WiiU behind them.

1.QoL : Iwata said a platform will launch in 2015 but this doesn't seem likely anymore. QoL is a peculiar answer to the OP questions since Nintendo hasn't said anything meaningful about it for some time...

2.Nintendo-like profits doesn't necessarily point to the Wii/DS era.

LoZ Wii U... Kind of obvious really. Add a few exclusive Amiibo and they got those Nintendo like profits.
