Forums - Nintendo Discussion - What benefit does keeping the NX a secret still have?

Totally make sense, for instance NX NDA is incomparable stronger than Wii U NDA was.

In what way?

In evre posible way.



Around the Network

So really, the only benefit from revealing the NX now is satisfying our curiosity? That's not really a benefit. They can reveal the NX weeks before reveal and still have a very successful launch.

'Waiting for the NX is starting to make me angry.'

Because you yourself are allowing yourself to get angry over it.

'We have 6 months left to wait for this thing, and nothing has been offically announced'

Wait...

'Well, we got one solid statement from Nintendo. Zelda: Breath of the Wild is going to be multiplatform on the Wii U and NX.'

But you just said nothing has been officially announced! Don't forget Reggie said its a home console.

'also the NX wont have any graphical improvements over the Wii U, so that isnt very promising.'

No that's not true at all that wasn't said.

'And so far Nintendo has stated that they are avoiding announcing it too early because they are scared of imitators. and to that i have to say this - bullshit.'

Why BS?

'any company no matter who they are would not be able to come up with a similar concept and have it on the market within 6 months.'

That's not the point.

'and on the topic of that- which company? Microsoft and Sony both have their console plans set through holiday 2017, and i doubt they would want to copy them either.'

Arguable

'Microsft has abandoned the Kinect, and any other gimmicky productthey once had and Sony already has its own new thing being PSVR. and after the disastrous OUYA + a million other andoid consoles, what other company would dare make another console to try and have on the market?'

So obviously whatever Nintendo is hiding is being hidden for good reason

what is Nintendo so scared of?

You just said what they're afraid of

'at this point it is hurting them more than benefiting them by keeping the NX a secret.'

Not really. If they announce it now will it boost Wii U and 3DS sales?

'people want to know what they are buying, or will potentially buy.'

You have to understand that NX is not releasing until March. If they announce it now, it will not boost sales of Wii U or 3DS especially during the holidays.

'and holding it back for this long is starting to make people look in other directions.'

Anyone is free to purchase whatever they want. When the NX is released the market will be receptive.

'why wait to see what the NX is when the PS4 Pro with 4K upscaling is coming out soon?'

4K upscaling PS4 pro is not impressive.

'or what about the Xbox One Slim that fixes all the problems of the normal model and is more affordable?'

What about it?

'or what about the 3DS which is older, has a wider library, and has more support than the Wii U ever has, and is from the same company.'

More money for Nintendo

really, what are they gaining from just not telling us what it is?

Fan Anticipation.

What if there is no NX?

Don't exaggerate! NX will exist, it will be the 800p definition version of the Matrix!
