"Still, I am not sure if the form factor (the size and configuration of the hardware) will be integrated. In contrast, the number of form factors might increase. Currently, we can only provide two form factors because if we had three or four different architectures, we would face serious shortages of software on every platform. To cite a specific case, Apple is able to release smart devices with various form factors one after another because there is one way of programming adopted by all platforms. Apple has a common platform called iOS. Another example is Android. Though there are various models, Android does not face software shortages because there is one common way of programming on the Android platform that works with various models. The point is, Nintendo platforms should be like those two examples. Whether we will ultimately need just one device will be determined by what consumers demand in the future, and that is not something we know at the moment."

I believe this is what ur referring to, in which case u would be wrong, he never denies anything and is very heavily implying a unified concept where software is shared among multiple hardware configurations.

Honestly a true Nintendo fan would say this.

"Wii U is a commercial failure, I want to see Nintendo bounce back bigger and better, I would rather see Zelda U go multiplatform at the same time to give the NX a CHANCE at succeeding at launch"

A moment of selfish happiness on a failed console is not going to bring you years of happines from Nintendo if Nintendo can't bounce back form this disaster. 

OK, you think NX is 2017. thing, but tell me one if NX is really 2017 thing and Wii U/3DS need to survive on market for whole 2 years, why in whole 2015. year we didnt had almost any big new announcement for Wii U/3DS and why all new announcements we had are just a small projects, ports and spin offs, in other way fillers!?

If you dont know answer for that question I will tell you, because all big new projects and certainly some big Wii U projects that wasn't anuched are for NX now, they are heavily preparing for NX launch next year with those projects while they continue to support WiiU/3DS till NX launch with fillers that I mention and previosuly announced games that were delayed.

All that you wrote are pure facts, but fact is also that some thing like that doesn't work anymore, PS4/Xbox One are revealed in same year and launched in same year were successfully, Nintendo saw that. Also whole year NIntendo heavily hinted and talked about NX, also Wii U is in very bad situation, they can't wait for another 2 whole years for successor, and if Nintendo would just reveal NX next year and said that will come in 2017. 3DS/WiiU sales would be almost death till NX arrives.

Like I said, revel year and half before launch dont work any more especially when you need sucesor very fast,I think Nintendo will do something similar like Sony done with PS4, probably official reveal around March, at E3 full NX blown up with NX games and other NX things and in November launch.

That's a very bad business idea, if you think about it!

So in your opinion Nintendo should just sit down and see how their competition sell while they don't do "anything"? What is captain obvious is that as you said, if they can't compete now, they should release their next console in november 2016 when the wii u is 4 years old, same time the og xbox was an there wasn't any backlash from fans for microsoft, and they even sold more million consoles.

Anyone who feels betrayed by Nintendo for releasing the nx console next year is very naive. How can someone feel betrayed? They have released so many great games, even when they are not selling ok they are supporting the console. Look what happened with the vita. How many 1st party games have been released in the last two years? From a business point of view, they sure are loosing money, it's not as bad as the virtual boy was but they are not ok. They should have done it earlier but they'll wait the wii u to have 4 years to avoid fans outrage and avoid bad image.

I just don't get your point, honestly. You're suggesting that Nintendo waits as much as possible from ps4's peak year, which you say is next year, but the more they wait, the more people can buy a ps4 because as you said they can't compete now, so they would be like giving those sales to sony without a fight, and also the more they wait the closer the ps5 will be and the more market they loose.

Nintendo is releasing the nx next year, whether some people like it or not. It's the wisest thing to do. And I think you will like it after all. Enjoy all the fantastic games Nintendo has now and jump on the hype train next year, it's always fun :)

I must add that I agree with you on one thing, that Zelda U should be released before NX version, maybe 6-9 months. A lot of fans would double dip myself included, so it would be twice the sales. But I think they'll release Nx version first to boost the sales of the NX.

Anyway, nice topic Gamemaster! Though don't take things too personal man, it looks like you don't like it when people don't agree with you! :P

Twilight Princess-outsourced port

Star Fox-outsourced title originally schedule for 2015

Pokken-outsourced title and port of 2015 arcade game

SMTxFE-3rd party collaboration and localization of 2015 title

Zelda-made internally but was originally planned for 2015

Nothing suggests Nintendo is still developing major Wii U games.

2013:

Lego City Undercover: outsourced

The Wonderful 101: outsourced

Mario & Sonic: outsourced

2014:

Wii Sports Club: outsourced

Hyrule Warriors: outsourced

Bayonetta 2: outsourced

SMASH BROS: outsourced

Outsourcing is normal for Nintendo and nothing that indicates the end of a generation.

And Star Fox is still developed by EPD in cooperation with Platinum

Same for Twilight Princess HD: Developed by EPD in cooperation with Tantalus

Plus there's probably Pikmin 4 developed by EPD

Plus Zelda by EPD

Total of 4 internal games in 2016, more than in 2014. So, it's just normal.

Look at the 3DS now: internal games in 2016? None. According to your logic at has to get a replacement in 2016, not the Wii U

And that's what actually will happen: 3DS successor in 2016, Wii U successor in 2017.

No. I was referring to that "The architecture will be similiar, so we can easily port games to other platforms to fill launch gaps". Or something like that he said. Translated: There will be a dedicated portable and a dedicated home console, but both have a similiar structure, so that ports are easy to make.
