What trend are u using for handhelds? Gameboy went 12 years without a successor, GBA 3.5 years, DS 6.5 years, there is absolutely no way to predict when 3DS will get a successor based on previous generations.

Go back and look at previous console support from Nintendo after the 4th year. N64/GC/Wii each had a whopping 2-3 semi-major titles release in the 5th year, do u really think Wii U owners will be mad because they missed out in 2-3 games over the course of 1-2 years?

The nintendo handheld gens are alot longer than consoles generally. That fits right along with 2016 being too early but you could be right with a handheld releasing then but I highly doubt it.

If it's true nintendo only supports their consoles with 2 to 3 games in their consoles' last half of its lifecycle then nintendo fans have a lot to be mad over than a handful of games because nintendo should be pumping out alot more games to support it's fans.  

Ur making stuff up again, other than the original Gameboy what Nintendo handheld had a much longer generation? GBA was over 2 years shorter than GC, DS was a few months longer than Wii. Ur claim is based on absolutely nothing.

So how about skip that last year that has little support and go right into the next generation instead of wasting that time catering to a small audience? People will get over the slightly shorter lifespan if the successor is awesome.

Let me spell this out for nice and slow for ya. For the majority of nintendo handheld there's 7 years or longer in between them. 

GB released 1989
GBA released  2001
DS released  2004
3DS released 2011

Who's making shit up? 

To bolded part, what if the successor to the wii u turns out to be another wii u?

 Moving unto the next gen early doesn't mean all of the problems that plagued the wii u will be fixed with a new console or won't transfer to the new console.

If you and others want more games, why don't you just ask nintendo to make more games for this gen's console? 

My comparison is complete BS!?

Wii U arrived on market just year before new consoles from MS/Sony, and in comparison with they current consoles it performed and games (launch games) looked worst, that alone wouldnt be a such a problem, but problem is that Wii U was around $100/150 more expensive in that time. New console with games that performed and look worse than on current ones with $100/150 higher price!? WTF!?  This are all facts, but maybe you cant see them..

Like I wrote, the Wii U had a higher price point than they wanted and it was their first console on which they were losing money, so clearly they had some problems because they couldn't have lower price point, and they will clearly correct that mistake with new hardware.

Nothing Nintendo mentioned dont indicates that NX will be stronger than PS4, on the contrary, all point that they are making new Wii. Wii U in comparison with Wii completely failed, it was not affordable and gimmick failed.

"What we are always striving to do is to find a way to take novel technology that we can take and offer it to people at a price that everybody can afford. And in addition to that, rather than going after the high-end tech spec race and trying to create the most powerful console, really what we want to do is try to find a console that has the best balance of features with the best interface that anyone can use."

We already know that Miyamoto think that Wii U had high price, also we all know Wii had very afordiable price in comparision with Xbox360/PS3, so statmant "at a price that everybody can afford" clearly indicates lower price in comparison with PS4/Xbox One, probably around $250.

In that statement "rather than going after the high-end tech spec race and trying to create the most powerful console" they clearly saying we are not going for most powerful console.

This are all facts, like I wrote, but maybe you dont see them..

DS was Nov 2004 to Feb 2011, that's 6 years and 3 months, so Gameboy is the only to have over 7 years. Like I said ur making things up.

That's why I said IF, of course if the successor makes the same mistakes or creates brand new ones than it will be in a bad situation, what I'm saying is if it's a well thought out device with a strong and well executed strategy that doesn't make a bunch of mistakes than people will forgive & forget that Nintendo gave Wii U a slightly shorter than average cycle.

I'm not talking about my personal preference, I would be more than fine if Nintendo just continued pumping out 3DS & Wii U games for the next few years, I'm talking about them as a company. They can't continue to support a device that sells a mere 3 million/year that doesn't move a lot of software with the exception of a few titles, that plus 3DS hardware/software sales declining every year, this year is set to be the worst in something 20 years and next year will be worse. Also consider a few things Iwata said, in May 2014 he said it would be about 2 years for them to reinvent gaming and he has promised "Nintendo-like profits" (100 billion yen/$800 million) for next fiscal year. Don't those 2 statements kinda support the idea of new hardware in 2016?

No you didn't write facts actually. You copied a couple quotes that don't have direct reference to the NX, just generalizations of Nintendo's views and how they have done things. This neither says that they will continue to do the same or not. You are allowing your assumptions to guide your views. As I stated before, they haven't actually counted anything out. "Rather than going after the high-end tech spec race", doesn't necessarily mean that they aren't going to do it, it could just mean that isn't the main goal.

Again, yes, Miyamoto said that about the Wii U. But you keep comparing it when it wasn't a comparative statement. It was a statement in relation to the Wii U. He didn't say that the Wii U wasn't a price that everybody couldn't afford, he said "So unfortunately with our latest system, the Wii U, the price point was one that ended up getting a little higher than we wanted". Again, that's for the Wii U, and it is only relative to that particular system. "But what we are always striving to do is to find a way to take novel technology that we can take and offer it to people at a price that everybody can afford." That is a general statment about Nintendo as a whole and their vision for consoles in general. 

Almost everything you wrote are assumptions, not facts.

What do we know about the NX right now? That it's a system Nintendo is working on that is called the "NX". Anything beyond that is speculation and rumor. Like you said, "Nothing Nintendo mentioned dont indicates that NX will be stronger than PS4", however they also haven't said it would be weaker. It might not even be a home console from what we know at this point.

Anyway... I'm done.
