Anyone else fed up of these threads now? And not because of the OP's but damn Nintendo themselves not doing anything with the NX, ooh lets keep it a secret until we are ready to release it, like Apple do
I swear to god they are trying to pull a Apple, where by the time they have the direct, 2 weeks later the console is in the store, what they dont realize is, it will hurt them, big time, what works for Apple will not necessary work for Nintendo, since the iproducts are huge, Apple can do this, Nintendo cannot.
I 100% agree with you. I personally think that try to act like Apple, except your not Apple. Nintendo does not have Apples status across the planet. Even though Apple keeps things a secret, with all the leakers at foxcon and other places we still know what Apple is doing. We all know iPhone 7s or whatever they call it, is coming next year. One of Apple's strengths is that it is mostly predictable.
I don't care what anyone says. I think something has gone very wrong for Nintendo. I think NX was supposed to be out this November. They still haven't even publicly talked about it since Iwata mentioned it was in development. Maybe they had pre production issues, maybe the software wasn't ready. But something is wrong.
IMHO, this is their last stand as a console maker. I also believe despite what you all will say, I think Nintendo is desperate to be acquired. But only if it is a Apple, or Disney. I think the Japanese government would want jobs to remain in Japan from one of these monster companies would save face with the public.and
I also think a partnership with Microsoft makes a lot of sense as this point.
Either way, the longer silence goes from Nintendo. It will eventually not build anticipation, but make people tone deaf to their message. People will not care, and if will cost them sales. $299 is a death sentence if this is primarily a handheld, and if their is no western third party support.
Last thing, if they delay their announcement until 2017, then they aren't launching in March.
