The question to ask now is: will the software be ready in time?
You'd hope so, NX software development is why the Wii U had such a dry 2016.
Doesn't mean it will be..Nintendo officially said that they delayed NX to have the software ready at launch.
I really hope they'll have some surprises for the reveal.That's why we ain't hearing shit yet
Indeed, but previous launch window lineups have been lacking.I assume a huge part of the 2017 release is precisely for the software being ready. What comes out a month or 2 after launch is critical to maintain momentum.
Wii was completely barren (besides Zelda) for two years and Wii U software still wasn't even close to being ready for launch. I hope the device itself is exciting enough to convince people to buy it even for ports.Given how dry the output has been on the Wii U, I would certainly hope so. Furthermore, they have a few titles they can port over from the Wii U that are sure to pad out their launch day offerings if they felt it was necessary.
On one hand, this is an early production, so that Foxconn worker may not be involved. On the other hand, that worker posted those PS4 drawings on Chinese gaming forum a9vg, which is a notorious place full of hostile Sony fanboys (way more hostile than those in western forums, the place is so notorious that Chinese Nintendo fans are always avoiding that place). He may not even want to post info about a Nintendo console because people just don't care about it.

I'd expect quite a few jazzed up wiiu games in addition, as the wiiu market was so small barely anyone got to play them. If the NX is a real success they might as well sell them again.
The 3ds had a dry 2016 as well.
Let's hope it's not a repeat of the 3DS launch.

There was never a reason to think it wouldn't, except for gaf paranoia.

I trust Yves when he says that Nintendo learned from Wii U.
No split development and efficiency gains by reorganisation will take effect.

You trust Ubifost CEO?

Zelda, Sonic, and Just Dance at launch is a good start.
Übermatik;217826528 said:Nintendo could make buttered toast and Yves Guillemot would appear on camera saying he loves it. It's in Ubi's interest to plug every hardware partner.
Unless Sonic Mania is getting an NX port, Sonic won't be there at launch.

We're going to be waiting until the end of October for an NX announcement aren't we?
(I just don't know how long it would take for them to get a bunch of working units to use for their reveal.)
What does trial production mean?
This isn't a big number, is it?
If the thing is a success, there will be shortages.
Pretty much what I was gonna say. Early October is looking likely.
It's either that or they risk overmanufacturing like the Wii U
This basically confirms NX is still on schedule, no?
I hope this is true, if it is then NX is almost certainly confirmed for March 2017(or sooner?) PS4 pro production is starting just one month ahead its launch, so if it takes only about one month to mass produce a console and NX is already in the trial production stage so....
Now i guess Nintendo has to show it before leaks from China come out. October it is i guess, November is Pokemon and NES mini month, plus PS4 Pro and lots of other main games releases, December seems too late, also Mario Maker and Mario Run to promote that month.
I guess someone knows the answer to the question, but is this the first time a nintendo product might start production, before it even was announced?
I think the only other time was Sega Saturn, but that was way before the internet was a big thing...

New gen launches definitely but the XL and *NEW* and 2DS were released quite soon after being announced.
I'll never get the Paper Mario (or any game specific) argument
It releases on the 7th of October. Why would that be in the way of the 30 other days of that month?
September: only 7 days, no time
October: Paper Mario month
November: Pokemon, Nes mini and PSPro month
Dicember: celebrating Christmas, no time
January: epiphany
February: only 28 days, no time
March: NX month, no time to reveal it
etc until the end of times
