Wow thats what you got out of this? Pokken is a port? Translation? OMG! You are hilarious my friend.

Wii U and 3DS can't carry Nintendo financially for another year anyway.

3 million Wii Us/year and 3DS shipments going lower than 7 million would be the lowest in the modern history of Nintendo for hardware shipments.

New hardware is very obviously coming.

There will be a minority portion of the Nintendo fanbase that will kick, scream, stomp their legs at this but then they'll see Mario on NX and shut up about it. 

I doubt Nintendo will release a new home console in 2016. Wii U will probably reach its peak year in 2015, which means Nintendo needs to consolidate their software sales in 2016, to milk revenue from their 2015 hardware sales. I simply can't see a new home console from Nintendo in 2016 from a business perspective.

However, assuming the NX-project is based on an architecture that is compatible with both handheld hardware and home console hardware, I'd say a handheld version of the NX-plattform will most likely be released by the end of 2016, with an enhanced home console version in 2017.

The real interesting question is; will we see Zelda Wii U, or will it transfer to the NX-project?

New portable then? Maybe both if Ninty feels they shouldn't give an edge to NX portable by releasing first. Thats the way I see it, either both or portable only.

This should answer your question.

It's just the trend of Wii U's release calander. I'd love for every game ever to come out on it.

It's reality that there's around that many bigger titles in a Wii U release year.

If it's a similar architecture, just scaled up, then Nintendo can easily release both at the same time no problem. 

It's like saying Apple can't release a new iPad in the same quarter as a new iPhone ... sure they can. It's basically the same technology just scaled up or down running the same software.

If the the portable + console/dock run the same games, it wouldn't make sense to be honest not to release both at the same time because that's supposedly part of the whole appeal of the NX (play the same games at home/on the go) I would think.

The sooner the product launches, the sooner the userbase can begin to build too. Purposely holding back hardware just for the sake of some imaginary time limit a small portion of people have on the internet is incredibly stupid. 3 year headstart for the PS4/XB1 is bad enough already, Nintendo needs to get this thing out and start building that userbase so developers will actually want to make games for it. 

Hyrule Warriors was a sipnoff and was still a bigger title.

That's exactly what the Wii U needs, lol.
