@ the original poster:
That's the biggest load of hog wash (or justification) I've ever heard. You want the truth, the bottom line....Nintendo can't produce the games as fast as they are consumed. That's it! That's the long and the short of it. They've never been able to keep up with demand, and each console cycle has only gotten worse for them in this respect. The worst of which has been the switch from SD to HD...which is why it took them so long to do so in the first place. They're development pipeline is broken, and could barely keep up during the SD gens. Now that games are in HD, and take EVEN MORE TIME to complete, it will continually get worse for Nintendo, and Nintendo fans alike.
Nintendo needs to find a way to complete their game ideas in a timely manner that's consistent with the consumers demands. I'm not condoning rushing unfinished games to market, but I am stating the fact that they are behind the 8-ball, and will never be able to catch up (unless something changes). This is the reason why Nintendo fans are drip fed game news and announcements at such a slow pace, that their fan base comes up with ridiculous logic such as the original poster of this thread to justify the lack of games/announcements. Nothing is ready....Nothing is close to ready....Anything that is finally ready gets delayed some more. Sad, but true. Unfortunately, this will make Nintendo home consoles a secondary machine to another console.
