I'm guessing Nintendo wants additional development time for their launch selection.
I hope so. The Wii U launch was laughable, it took another year before there was something to play besides Super Mario U.

They don't have a choice, if they reveal the NX, then Sony and M$ one-up them on their console updates, Nintendo is fucked.
Best thing for them to do is see what M$ and Sony do, then adjust their NX to make sure the system can compete with the console updates.
I'm OK with just WiiU for another 5 years, just wait it out!
There's like 5 more games coming out for it and the rest are indie releases.

the hardware is less than a year from being launched. I don't know much about hardware development but i assume with a project this big changing hardware this late in the game would be insanely costly and alienate third party devs.
Yeah they won't change there hardware if Dev kits have been out for this long. However, Sony and MS may try to add things to one up them. It'll happen either way though.

I think between what we've gotten so far and the Wii's library I'm pretty set with the system. I can do without a new Nintendo system for a good 5 years if not 10.
It's off topic, but Nintendo consoles seem to be best when they freshly dead, or near death. You can get them at their cheapest (but still brand new) and you have those cream of the crop titles all at once vs the trickle you get in real time. I may land up picking up a WiiU...but it won't be until the thing is next to dead and cheap.

If this causes the Wii U to drop to under $200 I may finally pick up a Wii U.
Honestly now is not the time to get a Wii U.
I got mine at launch (or close to it) and I've got my money's worth out of it for sure….but the end is so near for it you know there will be big price drops/incentives in the near future.
Having said that, anyone with even a slight interest in gaming should get a Wii U. It has some of the best iterations of Nintendo's main franchises (Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Mario 3D World, DK Country, Yoshi Wooly World, Mario Maker, Pikmin, Xenoblade)….and a decent number of nice surprises (Bayonetta 2, Wonderful 101, Hyrule Warriors, Captain Toad, Splatoon, NES Remix, Kirby Rainbow Curse).
These are just off the top of my head..and that's like what - 16 games? That more than enough warrants a purchase in my opinion.
I've always been interested in a WiiU, but it would have to be sub-$200 and come with a pack-in game. If I was going to spend $300 on a current-gen system, it would be one of the other two (on sale, obviously.) $300 for a WiiU is a big pill to swallow considering how cheap the Wii got towards the end of its life.
