Okay so for those of you who haven't kept up with the Gameblog thread some info came out from the Macquarie Group where they downgraded Nintendo from "outperforming" to "neutral" among speculation that the NX is going to be between $300-$350

The bigger piece of info from this is that they state the NX is being revealed next week

http://seekingalpha.com/news/3213925-expecting-nx-console-disappointment-macquarie-cuts-nintendo-neutral

This is a link that cites the info from the report, as of right now idk if a direct link to the report exists.

Here's what macquarie is

Speculation is Nintendo would unveil NX details in coming week. I guess all we can do is just wait. No announcement from company yet.

https://twitter.com/Willvs/status/787707989054648320?s=09

Cette semaine je ne sais pas, mais en off, Nintendo évoque en effet une annonce "très bientôt" auprès de ses contacts dans l'industrie.

which for my non french speaking fam is basically

"Don't know about this week, but behind the scenes, Nintendo have indeed mentioned an announcement "very soon" among their contacts in the industry."

Basically we got that tweet from WSJ and one from Le Monde which is equivalent to France's Time magazine.

Somethings cooking and it's not that new Guwop I'm listening to

Woptober out now

It's time brehs

Also Rösti a real 1

Just for clarification.

[giant_frying_pan]

October Surprise!

 

[Sendou]

Well some analysts were counting on a reveal before TGS :x

 

[Cubas]

I doubt it but man, I'd love for it to be true.

 

[iMax]

Surely if it was being revealed next week we'd have the event invitations out already?

 

[Koyuga]

I still wouldn't put money on an NX reveal this year, especially before the holidays.

 

[McDougles]

If we can't trust old G4 bros, who can we trust right now but the Macquarie Group?

 

[DMONKUMA]

Salted Caramel?

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

Surely if it was being revealed next week we'd have the event invitations out already?

they might just do a 5 minute Nintendo Direct LOL!

 

[Kinsei]

Surely if it was being revealed next week we'd have the event invitations out already?

It's possible that it will just be a Direct with invitations being sent out to demo the thing afterwards.

 

[DeployThatPizza]

Surely if it was being revealed next week we'd have the event invitations out already?

It's most likely the announcement of the reveal.

 

[Cubas]

Surely if it was being revealed next week we'd have the event invitations out already?

The reveal might be a Direct. Or the invitations were already sent but the journos are not allowed to talk about it.

 

[DeuceGamer]

The reveal date announced or the actual reveal? Guess I'd be happy with either.

 

[JohnTinker]

I think I've become numb to the hype. Too many "insiders" and misses with info, I'm content to wait and be surprised with it.

 

[Koozek]

Yeah, sure. You keep telling yourselves that every week.

 

[Doctre81]

I still wouldn't put money on an NX reveal this year, especially before the holidays.

Nintendo already confirmed it will be shown this year

 

[Insane Metal]

Ugh please just do it Nintendo, I can't deal with all those rumors of rumors of rumors every day :|

End this please

 

[Geek]

The company's move into mobile gaming, Super Mario Run, has a missed opportunity as well, Macquarie says: Being only iOS and ex-China, it's missing 60% of the market.

I'm concerned about the level of research here y'all

 

[stilgar]

WHERE'S MY TICKET DAMNIT

 

[Discomurf]

Could be reveal direct with a second live press event slated for January around CES.

 

[Instro]

Seems like guesswork based on the upcoming investor meeting.

 

[chrisPjelly]

Cooooooome ooooooooooooooon Nintendo pls!!!

 

[ggx2ac]

Well some analysts were counting on a reveal before TGS :x

They were probably from a different company though, I don't think it was stated which company in the Wall Street Journal articles.

 

[10k]

That's a console price not a handheld or hybrid price. Nintendo can't get away with selling at that price unless it's a PS4 killer.

 

[-Horizon-]

Just give me something. Even a half eaten donut. Come on Bill.

 

[oti]

I WANT TO WELCOME EVERYBODY TO THE NEWEST NX THREAD ON NEOGAF

#BELIEVE

 

[Anth0ny]

Announcement next week, reveal on the 24 or 25

Or in January

 

[Mega]

I'm fed up with waiting, not because of hype either. I just think it's a very late reveal at this point (relative to when it's supposedly launching), and the complete silence from them on the subject is both stupid and silly. Nintendo needs to show the damn console/handheld already or at least provide some solid details.

 

[Kouriozan]

But... does the NX even exist!
One would think Nintendo will reveal it right before their investor meeting.

 

[Tregard]

I'm not ready to be hurt again

 

[Aters]

A grain of salt? I'm taking it with all the salt in the oceans.

 

[Koozek]

How Can NX Be Real If Our Eyes Aren't Real

 

[netgrimoire]

I'm not ready to be hurt again

I'm always in the state of hurt when it comes to the NX so I'll hurt for the both of us...

 

[HawthorneKitty]

It's gotta be one of these weeks!

 

[Gin]

NINTENDO DUO - im rdy

 

[The Giant]

It better be revealed next week. No more waiting.

 

[Gaspard]

I've got a funny feeling this is it.

 

[Doctre81]

That's a console price not a handheld or hybrid price. Nintendo can't get away with selling at that price unless it's a PS4 killer.

LOL how are you gonna say what is or is not a "hybrid" price when there has never been one?

 

[Discomurf]

In before another lock

 

[ahkdigital]

It doesn't necessarily mean anything but, even though their Twitter has stayed active, their Facebook has gone dark since the 4th.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Fuck I hope so.

Nintendo just need to hurry up and reveal the fucking thing.

 

[jmizzal]

Surely if it was being revealed next week we'd have the event invitations out already?

Its possible they do a direct for the reveal, show off the system, some games, specs, and explain it.

Then have a big blowout in Jan thats a press conf.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

Next week in game magazines...

 

[mocolostrocolos]

I hope it's true.

 

[Galang]

Well I mean it has to be super soon right? If it doesn't happen in the next few weeks then I guess we'll be waiting until E3 for a huge blowout.

 

[shira]

>300-350

WHEW

Good to know shuts moving doe

 

[-Horizon-]

NINTENDO DUO - im rdy

:T

 

[jmizzal]

Tomorrow morning Nintendo needs to tweet out the reveal date for next week, so we can have a weekend of speculation lol
