I love achievement systems imo.
Good thing gbatemp polls are 100% accurate at predicting the future! w00t!!!!
I think they will make a release in two part:
- Handheld NX (2016)
- Home console NX (2017)
2016, it is not confirmed yet officially, but reading all the articles i can about the NX.. it is for sure coming out this year..
I even go so far to say Nintendo will reveal more in March, and will intruduce the NX next E3.

Based on industry inside information I will buy NX handheld on 2016, and for the NX console Nintendo should do some extra work to convince me.
Imho Nintendo's wiiu is known by us and few others. The general public still thinks it's an add-on to the Wii . it is a lost cause for them as most devs wont touch it with a 20ft pole, so we miss 90% of this gens greatest (and worse) cuz nobody wants in on the N.
It makes sense for Big N to try to draw back those devs ASAP and try to make a "successor to the Wii" that the general public would like to consume.
With that being said.... Nintendo hasn't always done what made sense , and they can still afford to live in limbo with 99.99% of the content they sell being directly from them, as people usually do just want games exclusive to Nintendo like Mario Zelda etc. They are still making profits believe it or not
So.... I think a Nintendo direct may mention a new console to be released next year. And if they really cared about what everyone else thought. They'd take the wiiu and Wii off the factory floor replace it with the NX and make it 100% backward compat. Introduce the new controller being a sleeker multi-touch android tablet +buttons with up to 8 connections and games that abuse that feature + the ability to take a n3ds as a control + Wii remotes up to 16 and continue to make games for wiiu but with upgraded features to be accessed for the NX (think o3ds & n3ds)
But of course in that world we are post apoc zombies vampires werewolves fighting to save the planet from asteroids, super hurricanes, ice ages, earthquakes and tsunamis by drilling to the core and using stolen alien tech from an earlier invasion and giant transforming robots to save the mutants and inhumans from certain annihilation

Wii U won't be replaced until 2017 as they never announce and release in the same year.
I don't even see the reason to replace the Wii U myself and probably won't get an NX unless it gets me really excited and I don't see how it could do that. I don't think we need a more graphically powerful maching for Mario Karts and Splatoons.....maybe Zelda and Metroid could benefit but graphical improvements don't mean jack to me anymore. 4K is DOA and 1080P is all we need

The fuck?! where did 52 votes come from?
I have like this theory, in two cases:
Case A:
The console is an Hybrid, in this hypothetical case, they will release the Wii U Gamepad like controller itself... running games at 900p 60fps, with backward compatibility with 3DS and a full NX OS running on it. (This gamepad will do for the 3DS games what the Wii U does for DS games [Split the gamepad screen in different modes]) And it will be released this year, leaving the other part, the home console, ready for release next year, the home console will include a Pro Controller so you can use it as normal.... till this point, both consoles are individual. One handheld and one home console... but running exactly the same NX OS, and same processors architectures. Here is when they announce the hybrid part, if you have NX Gamepad, and Console... you will unlock the Hybrid option, which is, having the ability to use your home games on your gamepad to go.. and vice versa! D: (Note that home console games will be downgraded or adapted to their use on the Gamepad {gamepad will have a huge internal memory and will allow the use of SD cards up to 2TB})
Once you've connected both consoles (in fact the handheld will be just a gamepad for the Home Console when connected to this one... and of course by having the handheld you will unlock the Backwards compatibility of Wii U titles that requires a second screen, like Zombie U).
That's case one, and plus, both consoles work individually of course, but the full potential is unlocked by owning both of them
Case B:
There will be two NX consoles, NX Home and NX Handheld.
They both will run NX OS and same processor architecture, the portable console will be released this year and the home console will be released 2017, you'll have cross buy for eShop titles... but probably wont be able to play NX titles cross ways.. like if it was a hybrid.
So that's part of what i think NX will be... what do you think?

At first that was my guess, that NX was just a hybrid that combined Wii U and 3DS in one console. But now I'm not sure of that... could be... they will launch Wii U x 3DS hybrid first this year and then their successor NX next year!
that could be Case C lol
