Nintendo still has two big game launches left in the Wii U but that isn't stopping rumours surrounding the company's next console, currently codenamed the ‘NX'. We already know that Nintendo is planning a new console, though it isn't sharing any details until 2016. However, we could potentially see the console release next year too, with supply chain rumours suggesting that the system is already in mass production.
On top of that, a new rumour coming from a supply chain source speaking with DigiTimes, claims that Nintendo is currently expected to ship around ten to twelve million NX units in 2016, with Foxconn currently in charge of production duties.
While these rumours could pan out and Nintendo could potentially be stocking up on Nintendo NX consoles already, the Wii U still has some life left in it, with Star Fox due out early next year. We are also awaiting a new release date for the next Zelda game, though Nintendo could pull a ‘Twilight Princess' and release the game on both the Wii U and NX .
Either way, it will be interesting to see what Nintendo does next year, though it is difficult to predict considering that Nintendo often does things very differently to the other two big console makers.

KitGuru Says: I'm excited to see what happens with the Nintendo NX, though I find these rumours hard to believe. Nintendo still has two big game launches to get through on the Wii U, though it could do with replacing the console pretty soon.
I’d love to see a return to form from their NES/SNES days. If they put out a console that at least matched the competition’s consoles (graphically) and attracted third party developers like the xbox and playstation do, then i’d be tempted to get back into console gaming.

If it is a handheld, then it might hit those figures. If not, then I would be amazed if it gets even half of that as the WiiU has crippled Nintendos fanbase.

So if they released something that is a clone of the Xbox or Playstation, you’d get back into console gaming….or how about just get a PS4?
If it’s a regular console, 4 million would be a good figure for them as the WiiU has barely done 10 million in its lifetime.

PS4 might improve over time with more exclusives worth playing but so far it’s the worst console of this generation for a PC gamer. Both XB1 and Wii U have better exclusive games. If you already played PS3’s Uncharted, The Last of Us, Beyond Two Souls, etc. the PS4 is a barren wasteland of games, besides Bloodborne and maybe Infamous SS rental.
4 million? No. They would be better off dropping the price on the Wii U to $199 then.
Why are you adding in “as a PC gamer”? That is completely unrelated to what was originally said.
Price cuts have never help shift the Wii U – no one wants it regardless of the price. Nintendo are utterly out of touch with modern gamers.
