I managed to try with a solution:
First, uninstall ionic with this command
sudo npm uninstall -g cordova ionic
and then re-install it
sudo npm install -g cordova ionic
It works for me.
Hope it helps.

Try reinstalling ionic and cordova and don't forget to empty npm cache

npm uninstall -g ionic cordova
npm cache clean
npm install -g ionic cordova

I hope this helps
Node version 6.9.0

[evgeniyM]

Same problem, re-install didn't help

[vinchauhan]

@evgeniyM - Did you resolve it ? - I am in the same situation, looks like something is messed up with new ionic package - I updated it and started getting it

[evgeniyM]

I've switched back to node v4.2.6 and i don't get this error

[vinchauhan]

reinstalling ionic and cordova works - I guess I updated ionic earlier on a choppy network which started all this

node 7.0.0

[luciandarabus]

My system was using node 4.4, incompatible with ionic, where I had first installed cordova and ionic. I had to uninstall cordova and ionic from that node version, then use nvm to use node 6.10+ instead, then install cordova and ionic there under node 6.10+, and it worked no problem.
