Nintendo is silent for a reason

so nintendo is going to secure the core out from under MSony during their year head start by keeping silent of what they are doing so that the majority of their head start appears to be barren of any games let alone good games?

..nintendo really doesn't get the core if that's their plan.

By the time the PS4 and 720 launch, the assumption is that the PS4 and 720 will have little to warrant a purchase, that's the trend from the PS2, PS3, xbox and 360.

The theory is that when that time comes, what thelaststarfighter said would come true.

@JGarret. I know. But when the Wii suddenly launched what was it 6 months sooner than expected, we were happy. Then, some big games came out and we didn't have to wait much (3DLand, OoT3D, Revelations from Capcom).

then i'll have to rebuttle starfighter's theory.

the core are like little marketing machines.  the core, by definintion, are really into video games and talking about video games.  right now the core have nothing good to say.  the core is saying things like wiiU is power wise a last (aka current) gen machine.  they are saying wiiU isn't getting any games (read: GTAV, bioshock infinate, dark souls 2, ect.). that talk is was nintendo fans like to refer to as "word of mouth" and right now the conversation is bad.

holding out on all the good stuff just isn't a good idea, especially if they have a lot to show.  they need to give people something to change that conversation for the positive.  if not, six months of bad (word of mouth) press will be very very damaging.  first impressions are hard to reverse.
