Nintendo's silence on WiiU to be broken soon

[trestres]

I'm assuming, as mad as it sounds, that Nintendo has been really quiet on their newest home console's future because the "launch window" is about to finish (coincidentally with the end of the current fiscal year) and they want and need to post big profits on their next fiscal year. Iwata is taking responsibility of it, he knows that the current state of the Wii U is dire and that releasing key software or making key announcements right now would be useless. They are probably holding everything back, even the 3rd party companies, to make announcements of new software, release dates or new media for announced projects.

They know they have screwed up the launch, and that there was no short term way of reversing this. They will take the impact now and go all in soon. Not even retailers know what's there to come and some third party companies have said there's games coming, but that they couldn't spoil the beans yet.

Add to that that Nintendo is financially aiming pretty high for the next fiscal year, expecting more than 100 billion yen of operating profit alone, that means, leaving aside the obvious profits that will be made due to the yen weakening against the dollar. (see question 4 in the link provided)
I don't believe such figure would be possible only on the back of 3DS alone and with they WiiU still selling at a loss, also considering that they have forecasted a 20 billion yen operating income loss for the current year ending in a week and DS and Wii have sold decently this year. So they are banking big on Wii U games, as can be deduced from the forecasts.

I'm expecting a ND soon. Nintendo's been too quiet and they are about to go all in. No big surprises from Nintendo themselves until E3 or after, but they will detail the upcoming line up and I expect it to be crammed. Probably a few 3rd party games revealed. An aggressive ad campaign should also begin.

It's either this or they lose their last chance to gain relevancy before MS and Sony arrive on the scene and inaugurate their newest and more powerful consoles.
