Nah, Nintendo already said they want this to have a longer lifespan than the typical 5 to 6 years the NES to the Wii U got, so I expect this to be an upgraded Switch (AKA New Switch like New 3DS was to 3DS).
@nintendians: and yet even with that, Nintendo's IP is so strong, the Wii U sales would be 1.5 times that of Dreamcast, 2x that of TurboGrafx-16, and 10x that of Jaguar! Nintendo's "failure" shows how strong their IP really is that no other company that just makes video games (Sony has other electronics, and Microsoft other products) can reach what they do since they only reached fractions of sales Wii U did.
Plus, Nintendo's biggest problem wasn't any confusion, it was the major gaps between games, the delay killed any momentum it had after big releases, especially after Splatoon got major buzz, and sparked Wii U sales in 2015, with this headline following not long after:

Since they were splitting development between 2 heavy systems it caused delays, with Zelda being the most notable. Don't try to argue Zelda was pushed back, BOTW 2 shows development time took that long to do, because they can't even gets its successor out without delays, and it's even using the same engine!
"The follow-up to the Wii was the least successful Nintendo platform in history based on unit sales." Virtual Boy and Nintendo 64 DD platforms would like to have a word with you.
" You can check out the graphic below, and note the amusing fact that Nintendo decided to completely omit the Wii U..." since you decided to reword it, again I'll point out the fact that the 3DS isn't listed either. I'm amused at the fact that Nintendo decided to completely omit the Wii U AND the 3DS. Keep it up fake news!
"You can check out the graphic below, and have a chuckle that Nintendo decided to completely omit the Wii U." What about the 3DS? I don't see the 3DS listed there either. Why am I laughing that they ignored the 3DS AND Wii U, not just Wii U? Typical fake news...
Poppycock! There is nothing to fear, other than the subject of fear itself! We are stronger than... *cough* *cough*... what was that? *cough* *cough* ... what the?? Everyone needs to get away from me you walking germ bags!! Good idea cancelling it, now if you'll excuse me, I have some Lysol that needs spraying!!!!
