If this is true than it means the NX will definitely outsell the PS4.

That is actually pretty big, if you ask me.

One of the things that helps a console succeed is people at retail, people that know your machine and will actively push it.
More than once i heard about people working at retail that didn't do their job right; other companies really pushing hard so that their products are pushed to people.
In the end, it was Nintendo who lost a voice in retail workers.

This shows that Nintendo is aware of this and will actively try to "educate" workers.
Does this mean that the machine has a tough concept? Not necessarily. It could just as well mean that the execution of the concept is somewhat complex (not the same as complicated) and that it's worth the money to show these reps all the depth NX has to - or will - offer.

I really think this is really important for Nintendo and i hope they make this a standard.

I think that if the the rumors are true of a hybrid device, whether or not it's a 2-in1 device (where you can carry the controller with you and use as a portable console) or if it's 2 devices working together (as in, one home console and one portable console working seperately but that can interact and play the same games), this all makes perfect sense; Nintendo would want to make it perfectly clear what kind of a device this is. They wouldn't want a repeat of the Wii U. It's not a complicated concept, but it is complex. Hence why educating retail staff as best as possible makes sense.

Exactly.

The staff will find a lot of people who don't know what the best one is and a lot of people in doubt over which one to buy. They will be the ones that will "convince" people on what the best option is. And that where you need to start.

Not only might the actual device(s) need some understanding and explaining, but they (Nintendo) might be planning several different bundles that needs further explanations.

if the NX is anything like the leaks then a few days of rep training will do nothing to combat massive customer confusion.

Damn, so Nintendo is flying people from retailers to a location to train them? This tells me three things:
1) It's a complicated device that needs a fair amount of understanding to describe accordingly
2) Nintendo have learned from their mistakes with the Wii U
3) Nintendo is trying real hard to make this as successful as possible

Two of those points are positive things, but it's also worrisome; a device that is hard to understand and use is a hard sell. Wii was so simple, while the Wii U wasn't. And look what that got Nintendo.

I'm glad someone gets it...

I think #2 is more of the focal point. With the wii-u nintendo did not do a training of this degree, and admittingly the reps are not as invested in the wii-u, and we can all agree the sales reflect that as an attribute to the under-performance of the console.

"This is not a rumor"


*provides no source*

Would like me to throw out the reps name, 3ds friend code and rep ID? even if i attached a picture of an email comfirmation of such event, there's still no way for anyone to validate the email, pic,  rep, etc.  so i guess by defintion it's a rumor, but in nature it is not.

If my rep said "hey nintendo is having a training for some reps in washington" then it could be a rumor because of speculation.

since my rep said "I and all the other reps are scheduled for a training in washington" then it's lost its nature of being a rumor.

haha I'm a trust worthy person also, so that trumps source.

I can confirm OP's post, I saw some Nintendo job listing over here and it mentionned everything OP said.

I only hope they take every aspect of the new device this seriously: better marketing and having a bunch of games ready at launch for starters.

Honestly,  sometimes i wonder if all rumours aren't true, as in, there are multiple form factors on the way.

We have pretty much everything HW wise! :D
