| sidmeiernintifan said: Nintendo has killed the Wii U with all the NX releasing next year rumours. It looks like a Sega Saturn with a bit more of support if some games are released both on NX and Wii U (perhaps NX is Wii U backwards compatible). I think if Nintendo had said the Wii U was going to be their only home console till XMas of 2017 it would have sold more the last 2 months. |
Yeah, very possible.
Only problem is, everyone would have assumed Wii U/3DS would be the last Nintendo consoles, including developers. Which in turn would have meant again no 3rd party software support, as they literally for the most part only would find out about NX on it's reveal - which is too late to develop/port a game for it's release window. And probably also afterwards, because a release without games is not gonna sell well.
They should have kept it secret, but informed all the devs/publishers about it with an NDA for over a year, but that's hard to achieve without getting tons of leaks
