If they are really "incompetent business suits" they would go like Sega long time ago, they are actualy great in bussines. Problem with them is that they playing buy their own rules so it's hard to understand them.

Only thanks to the loyal fans. Nintendo already lost many of them, including me, when killed Wii U without any reasons. They were terrible at marketing, they were terrible at localisations, they were terrible over delays and whole development troubles. They abandoned Wii U 1.5 years ago and now acts like idiots "Heeey! Everybody should be excited of another "no one care" Pokemon game  and NES emulator! Wii U owners are going to have to be fully satisfied this holiday season!".

Well we don't really know that because NX is not out yet, its not even revealed. Oficial only thing they said about NX is that coming in March and that we will have more infos this year.

Nintendo had a fat money stack that's been there largely since the early 1990s to fall back on, Sega didn't have daddy's credit card to bail them out. 

Nintendo's hardware division has been incompetent for the last 8-9 years at least. The way the Wii fizzled out, the handling of the Wii U, the launch of the 3DS and the general lack of forsight as smart device apps cut their portable business into almost 1/3 are all largely due to awful management. 

They make terrific games ... their management has made some really, really stupid decisions though. They would not be where they are now if that wasn't the case. You don't go from 100 million consoles sold to barely even being able to get to 14 million within a span of a few years without something being horribly wrong. 

Like I said I hope a Foxconn employee leaks the entire thing, ruining their whole unveil. It would be fitting. 

So you're saying you want it to fail?

Pretty cynical even by your standards. We don't know what's going on behind closed doors. That's why they're closed doors :P. Nintendo UK mentioned that they'll talk about it more in the Fall and the Fall goes until November so the minority of hardcore gamers on forums bitching about it won't make it come any sooner than it already is.

Have they really lost that many loyal fans? I'm curious about that. They still have over 60 million 3DS owners. Yes it's a far cry of the 150+ million DS owners but that's still a pretty good number considering the circumstances. Then you got plans like theme parks, mobile, merchandise such as shoes, figures, and apparel, films, tv shows, etc. There seems to be a great demand for these things. Then you got Mario getting a cameo appearance in the closing ceremonies of the Olympics that appeared to be received positively and even Pokemon repping the Japanese World Cup team. Plus the Symphony of the Goddesses touring have been met with great demand and positive reception. It's hard to determine that through sales alone since a lot of factors (including confusing marketing that made some not even sure of what the Wii U was) affected the Wii U's sales.

I would not shed any tears if their "unveil" blows up in their face. They've brought it out themselves by dragging it on for so long, if it leaks, they kinda deserved it as far as I'm concerned.

That hasn't effected any other one their reveals in the past. Even when the true rumors where panned by the internet.

Internet being ridiculously childish again.

Doom and Gloom my friends, because we all know if the console is not revealed now instead of in December then is fated to fail, because... reasons, very good reasons.

Does the NX even exist
