That is really weird.
Don't know if this happened before...

"A Nintendo spokesman also reiterated that more on NX is coming by the end of this year."
Remember when Nintendo was going to reveal NX by Fall? "We decided to focus on Zelda (at E3). We’ll talk about the NX fall. At that time, it will be 100% NX.”
Well, one thing doesn't rule out the other, but i guess a lot of people saw October/November as Fall and not late December.
This comment pretty much says "no reveal in the coming weeks".

But why is Nintendo skipping the strategy breefing? Is it because NX is still far away and they have something so big or still to be secured that they can't reveal it too soon?

When was the last time a piece of hardware was as crucial to a company as the NX is to Nintendo?

"I can't remember - - - in my opinion." Now that's just not a very good sentence, is it? The "I can't remember" bit implies that this is from my memory, hence my opinion. Did I say the 3DS flopped like the Wii U? Where exactly? Hello mister strawman, nice to meet you. It did perform way below expectation though, especially considering they needed handhelds to do better than ever since it has been by far their worst home console generation and they even sold both consoles at a loss at launch, which is new for them.

NX will define the future of Nintendo, everyone needs and wants to see where they're headed and what the plan is to remain relevant in both home console and handheld markets. What exactly is wrong with my statement that the NX is crucial to Nintendo? Are you telling me it isn't?

Also; stretching my post into "Nintendo will be dead" is taking it waaaaaay too far, I believe you've been here long enough to know that I hold no such belief.

My mistake. So there is an even wider range of time to provide info during the Fall.

Νο I didn't do that! Actually, I wanted you to see that in the way that you have worded it, it's misunderstable!  That's why I said you to forgive me for my ironic style because I was suspecting that you don't mean it in that way ( but the future of Nintendo as a company in terms of buisness strategy/nature ) but the comment is defecient so anyone could  intepret it like that! :(

You could have clarified that ''crucial'', crucial is a very strong word! Personally, I would only use it regarding something very important like the financial state of a company!

Honestly, I'm both excited and nervous about the NX, for my own part I feel like they may shift focus even more on to handheld games, which is fine and probably smart from a business standpoint but I've never been a fan of it myself. I don't want Nintendo to leave the console space, especially home consoles, they work as a good counter-weight to the other two and their 1st franchises are second to none in sheer gameplay fun.
I wrote rather extensively on it in the thread that shall not be named, but I'm rather disappointed with both Sony and MS since the 7th gen and feel that console gaming has taken a turn for the worse. Unfortunately; Nintendo have contributed to this with the Wii U, in my opinion, by offering very poor breadth of software (which is mostly down to poor 3rd party support) and remaining too far behind on things like online, digital stores and actual, proper use of their own controller. It almost feels like they never really, truly believed in their own idea, if you see what I mean.

I hope the NX is fantastic and puts them in the black on finance reports and on the radar on the market again, but I'm nervous about the potential lack of a proper, foresighted plan in place, as was the case during the Wii days, which resulted in the Wii U. They need to read and adapt to the market, I don't think they'll manage to force a new one into reality again, not under these circumstances when gaming has branched out as much as it has.

Ha!!!! Shame to all of those rumours!!!!

Where is this quote from?

If it's from Paul Trepanier of Nintendo of Canada, the actual quote is "we'll talk about the NX this fall". No mention of a reveal. The only thing that has changed is the patience of people on this site.

I remember a few years ago people where tearing into something Reggie said about gamers being insatiable and this thing with the NX kind of proves that point.

Not sure what to think, maybe Nintendo is upset about whatever has leaked (presuming NX hybrid tablet is true) and are doing as much as they can to the contrary of certain "reputable" reports .ie imminent Oct reveal, etc.

I'm starting to really believe Nintendo is scared to unveil it. They know it's not up to snuff spec wise and probably not sure how the public will react to the hybrid concept. For Nintendo, the NX has to succeed on some level if they are going to stay in the HW business. Personally, I think it would be better to just get it out there and deal with any backlash that may happen. If the wait til the very end of this year or the beginning of next, that's only 3 months, or less, to deal with the PR. That's probably not enough time.
