Had Nintendo showed everything or at least a big part of it`s plans, Sony and MS would have time to really speed up development if they saw Wii U as a threat because of that same revealing. If Nintendo reveals it`s big guns at E3 next year and releases the console around September (release date announced prior to E3 2012) it will have more time in the market for itself. That`s why i think Nintendo didn`t show pratically nothing. They know that they might get copied or that their plans might speed up Sony and MS`s development on new consoles. More, their reveal, closer to a launch date, might cause more impact than having it revealed this year and launching next year - while very likely going through another E3! |
I think there is some truth to this in that Nintendo probably only intended for the Wii U demonstration to be a "teaser", and a more completed demonstration of the Wii U at E3 2012 may be more "dangerous". But I also think there is a lot of truth to saying that Tretton is only spinning the announcement of the Wii U to put Sony in the best light; and they probably consider the Wii U to be a threat to what they're doing with the PS3 and PS4 (especially after the Wii).
