We will get something via a press release, but a reveal? We won't even get close to one. The investors won't be able to get much out of them either.

Looking at the past we can guess that....

1. We will hear a release window -- the battle between team 2016 and 2017 may finally be put to rest!
2. We will find out when the system will be revealed.
3. If we are extremely lucky we might find out the name -- this happened with the Wii, DS, and 3DS, but those were two handheld systems (and the names at that point were tentative) and the Wii was a special case since it's name was controversial (they wanted to give people time to let off steam before E3) and the system had already been shown off considerably by that point.

If you expect anything more than the first two things I listed you'll likely be disappointed.



Bets:

1. If the Wii U sells closer to 10 million LTD by 1/3/2015 I win. If it sells closer to 9.5 million LTD by 1/3/2015 OfficerRaichu15 wins (winner gets 2 weeks of avatar control)--Lost.

I don't think they will "reveal" it, but they will certainly give something more solid regarding it. Maybe they'll reveal some strategy or even the system's name. Who knows?



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Its nintendo...

 

That means NO!



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

It seems be agree on everything. My only concern is that announcing this news in the Direct might not be the most efficient method, which is why I've been straying away from talking about it. The directs might be one of the most watched gaming news methods on the internet.... but the media doesn't get a wind of it. You don't see it on the news or in the news paper, yet when Sony and Microsoft did their unveiling on a small scale, it was everywhere. The directs are great, but it doesn't reach a wide enough audience. It's focused more toward it's current audience and an outer influence around them.

That couldn't be farther from the truth. A direct isn't going to stop news of a new console from being covered. The Wall Street journal covered a hardware leak for the thing. They aren't going  to just skip the reveal because it was in a direct.

Because it would be a terrible way to reveal a platform you're trying to sell. Why would Nintendo reveal their new platform at a business meeting no one pays attention to when they've specifically built a platform to make these kinds of announcements with via Nintendo Directs?

Just because they don't reveal the NX at the meeting doesn't mean they won't reveal it before E3. In fact, they have to. If the NX is coming out this holiday, that means it's launching with 3rd party games that haven't been announced for it yet. Two major third party Devs are having press conferences before Nintendo, and they are undoubtedly going to have launch games for it...

...launch games they will want to say will be on NX. If it's not revealed until Nintendo's E3 Digital Event, they won't be able to confirm the NX versions of their games. That would be very bad for Nintendo.

I think we'll get a Direct soon revealing the name and how it looks. It'll probably be the same direct that announces their E3 presence and schedule. But I now doubt we will get anything interesting about the NX at the meeting other than a confirmation that it will release this coming fiscal year.

It seems be agree on everything. My only concern is that announcing this news in the Direct might not be the most efficient method, which is why I've been straying away from talking about it.

Except no, news spreading on the internet reachers far more people than news and newspapers either way

Kimishima at last Investiture meeting at beginning of February:

"As for new businesses, we will present further information when we go into details about our forecasts for the next fiscal year. We do not plan to speak about NX today. We continue development and planning efforts for NX in preparation for launch, so it will require additional investment."

So we are definitely getting some NX infos next week.

I only expect them to say when they'll reveal it, either at a direct/other event in May or at E3.
