I've never been more excited for a video game console reveal. Maybe Feb 2013 PS4 reveal, but it's close.
An optimist, I like it!
Didn't someone in the Super Mario Run thread figure out that the game was also coming out for a bunch of other Nintendo consoles. I'm guessing that they might tease the reveal with a trailer for that game.
Imagine: You're watching the trailer for the new Mario iphone game "Coming also to 3DS, Wiiu and Nintendo Newton, rated E for Everybody" The Nintendo what?

Sony offers a good lesson in why waiting so long to reveal a console is a bad idea. If they had revealed it months ago, they might have had a chance to address consumer complaints about the lack of UHD drives. Now it's obviously way too late.
If you wait this long to reveal your product you had better get everything perfect the first time or you're fucked.

Link? Not sure there was any indication that was happening. Sounds like wishful thinking.
Nintendo said they're not simply gonna port their IPs to smartphones, but make games that are developed from the ground up for them. This makes sense the other way round too, so I wouldn't expect Nintendo smartphone games on WiiU or 3DS.
Maybe on NX, but that isn't even revealed yet so I don't wanna speculate about it. WSJ did report that Nintendo smartphone games will be compatible with NX in some way, but this doesn't necessarily mean they'll be ported over.

As someone who's going to TGS purely to get my hands on the NX, this would be disappointing.

Now here comes the real UHD Blu Ray player.
That would be hilarious.

Totally forgot about the nx with the PlayStation news. If nx looks strong, might prioritise this over ps4pro because I need a tv so will be far easier to just buy the Nintendo console.

I predict April 2015.

Your prediction is wrong. I'm from the future.
I'm not so sure that the Playstation news overshadowed much at all!
Especially since more people tweeted about Nintendo being at Apple's event than Sony's PS4 Pro. I definitely don't think these hardware reveals will have the desired results Sony is looking for, seems like both are targeting the current PS4 user base.
This right here. Why are we bothering listening to 'analysts' who are just guessing?

Analysts just predicted something else last week haha
This such a joke. More like Guys who know nothing are guessing a lot.

If it's not September or October, it'll be January or February.
If it's not September or October, it's absolutely not coming out in March.

That's an absolutely crazy move for a whole host of reasons.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I guess it's time for me to be an analyst again. 
Going back to my Calendar theories.
It's now Sept 8th. If we assume 3 weeks ahead for a live announcement here we go...
That basically mean the 29th at the earliest.
Oh and that would mean invites would have to go out like right now.
So yeah all signs point to October for a live event if we go off the 3 week theory.

Seems pretty in line with what the WSJ these last few years (post Murdoch buyout). They have one half that seems to be trying to stay legit, and another half which is ready to go full on NY Post - Business Style.
As for NX reveal - if Nintendo is sticking to March, October gives them a 6 month reveal to release time, which is fine. Waiting until November or later would be insane IMO.
Hmm I can't find it right now, so maybe I just misread something. Anyway Miyamoto did an interview with Time Magazine where he specificly stated that there is no direct connection between the two, so I guess that rules that possibility out)

I disagree. The ps4pro is a tiny upgrade for current ps4 owners. If the NX is good it may compete with the ps4pro as an upgrade. All gaming devices ate ultimately in the same market and most gamers really want all of them even if its just for one or 2 games.

Is there any indication that these are the same analysts as those who predicted before TGS? It could very well be two different people's opinions, which doesn't mean much of anything.
It'd be unlikely to be there anyway, at least publically. Nintendo isn't there and I doubt they want people's first experience with the hardware to be solely based on 3rd party content.

Trailer shows a casual stereotype playing Super Mario Run on the iPhone.
Camera zooms in on the screen of the iPhone untill it shows off different gameplay segments 'fullscreen'.
The camera zooms out on what appears to be the NX instead of the iPhone. A showcase reel of NX exclusives starts.
My WSJ analyst buddy told me 80%.

What's the odd of PS4 exclusives releasing on PC?

Why 3 weeks? Because of the invite? But, isn't it possible invites were already sent out in the past week or two and press are embargo'd from discussing/revealing this? In which case, Nintendo could give just a couple days or a week notice to the rest of us, to tune in.

Me too, those threads are why I visit Neogaf.
I hope they take advantage of the PS4 Pro's additional power.
