During its press conference with DeNA this morning to announce a strategic alliance, another major bit of news was revealed. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata confirmed that a new hardware platform is in development.
Nintendo is currently working on the system under the code name "NX." The company isn't yet ready to reveal additional details, other than the DeNA-developed membership service (confirmed to replace Club Nintendo later this year) will be integrated.
More details about the console (and whether it is a living room device or handheld video game hardware) will be coming in 2016.

PN Opinion: Be sure to click the link in the article about the DeNA press conference to read about Nintendo bringing games to mobile devices via a partnership with this company. It doesn't surprise me that new hardware has been confirmed as the Wii U hasn't been performing well since launch. Of course, I could be wrong and this could be something like a Nintendo cellphone for all I know. But the fact remains, something new is coming and it could be awesome.
