Nintendo keeping quiet about future Wii U games to avoid idea copying

@pavolink: I already went through the whole thing and explained my reasoning to wfz. Give it a read. And nope last year we knew they were making a new console and the way they dropped off their software support for wii made the rumor even more credible.

 

The specs and such only leaked like a week or so before the E3 presentation. They definitely didn't reveal it due to 'leaks'. They just wanted to be the first one to come out with a system. Which was a stupid move by them, they should have kept supporting the wii and come out this year's E3 with all the info. Would have had a much bigger impact

No and no.

We have the same thread like a year ago about being secretive and not releasing details about software, online and hardware features and capabilities even to shareholders, asking them to wait, just like third parties approach and partnerships.

And the "leaks"I'm reffering are not about the unreleased specs you are talking about, but some details like the touchscreen even before the Annual Meeting in April when they have to announce the console officially. Nintendo STREAM (from console to screen on controller) name by fans was way before the week before E3 last year.

ughh that's a weird way to see things isn't it? We have some 'leaked' info on the dev kits for the next PS and Xbox too. Doesn't mean they will hurry and reveal to shut up the masses. Don't kid yourself. They did it so they are the first to do so. if they actually revealed the wiiu last year cuz of some 'rumors' and 'leaks' then they are real real stupid. But I give them more credit than that. And it was that french site that leaked the best and most accurate info on the wiiu iirc. Before that it was the same situation that we are in as now with the PS4/Xbox720. Bunch of leaked early dev kit info, rumors etc.
