Only "details" on the NX? Uh oh, that's not a good sign.

Did you expect him to reveal more than that in a newspaper interview instead of something like E3?
There's a time and place for reveals like that. I dont know why that's so difficult for some people to understand. They don't change their minds and spill the beans as soon as they get an interview. He didn't say "only" details. He said details. As he should. It's not a sign of anything.
When Sony invited the press to their "See the future event" they didn't even say that it would be the PS4 that they're unveiling. Was that a bad sign? They even denied that PS4 existed when asked about it just a while before that.
Saying that you're going to reveal the next console has nothing but negative effects on the continued sales of the current console. That's one of the reasons why you reveal things like that only when the time is right.

Holy geez. My point was simply that it would be nice to finally hear him give more substantive info on Nintendo's plans for NX considering it's already 2016. He's still saying the exact same thing Nintendo was saying in 2015. The time for "details" is now, not "later in 2016."

Exactly, you can't wait till June to announce something well release in Nov, it gives no time for the news to spread around. Worrying about the sales of a console which doesn't sell anyways is fairly pointless. How many Wii U's do they plan on selling due to TPHD, Pokken, or Star Fox Zero? Not really system sellers, and everything else is slated to release after E3 (which boils down to Genkei Ibun Roku #FE and Zelda U, one of which is another game that isn't a system seller). Say they even announce a new game we didn't know about, the odds are it is STILL going to release after the reveal of NX. 

Not to say it's impossible for it still to release this year, just every time an interview or event comes and goes with no news on the NX aside from "details will be released this year" the less and less likely it will actually release this year.
