I was gonna post this a few days ago but it's pointless. Yes, Nintendo usually has the precedent of an 18 month dev cycle but the Wii U and 3DS are floundering, getting trickle support from Nintendo and if you think about it, the NX was talked about back in April, so it could be 18 months
I just don't think the 18 months thing is set in stone or is some internal rule at Nintendo. It was probably coincidence and the situation is more dire then transitioning from GameCube to Wii or Wii to Wii U.
