Long-term, rushing the launch would be a bad move. Ninty may very well release the NX next year, but it wouldn't be the wise decision. Wii U's failure might be partially attributed to a rushed launch. Many of the ports were of sub-par quality, third parties had little invested in the system overall when their first wave of games failed (they left), and even Nintendo struggled to keep a steady flow of software throughout the first year. No reason to repeat history so soon. Sega Saturn, part III. |
Wii U's failures go beyond any launch issues in fact the launch was fine it was what happened after that was the problem, the console was barely advertised, the name caused confusion among consumers and the price point was not competitive. The first year of all 3 current consoles weren't great in fact the Wii U had the better first year line up of the 3 but the mentioned problems stopped any momentum.
Rewind back to the 3DS Nintendo made big moves with in months to fix the problem but with the Wii U no move was made, it's the only Nintendo console to not even get a price cut in the amount of time it's been out.
Tell me how releasing it after 2016 would be a wise move because I don't see any indication how it could be, Wii U's last selection of known games will be out next year, after that momentum will cease for the console and all focus in gaming will be on the competitors so NX will have to arrive as the is still momentum going. They're not going to keep a platform secret, announce it next year then release it a year later giving competitors a chance to prepare, all signs point to 2016.
