youre participating in the hysteria, dont act like youre above it lol. this is like the third time ive seen you do this. recognize that youre playing in the mud just like the rest of us. 

im enjoying my wii u right now. if the nx were to come out this year (it isnt) i would get it the day it comes out and enjoy the fuck out of it. of course i would, as would my allies thunderbird, bigtakilla, and others. would you not agree that the timing is an important consideration when releasing new hardware?

 

The "hysteria" is the illogical belief that a system is some how "better" if it reaches some arbitrary date, which is bullshit. We know how Nintendo supports its consoles for the the final 11-12 months anyway ... it's basically barren (the N64 hillariously had ONE ... ONE fucking game from Nintendo for its final 12 months, GameCube was miserable its final 12 months, so was Wii). 

I don't see the "glory" in that 5th year, if Nintendo wants to skip that "12 months of shit" phase, hey great. 

I don't think timing in this case makes a huge difference. I doubt Nintendo is making a PS5-tier console either way, and if they're not then it's probably better to release earlier than later. 

The biggest consideration for a release date should be Nintendo's PORTABLE market ... you know the one that has 80% of their fanbase? That should be the no.1 priority, so if NX is a unified platform, then it should launch this year in order to first and foremost supplant the 3DS. That's the most important thing, the console is just secondary. 

 

They reduce games made for their previous console because they need to work on games for the new hardware. By that time, either they got some decent 3rd party games to help it along, or it's usually baren. True enough. But it's not like Nintendo has a "Console 5th Year Vacation"!
