To those who say NX isn't coming this year

This whole situation has been really poorly handled by Nintendo.

They announced this thing almost a full *year* ago already and they have shown nothing on it, why even announce it in the first place? Why not say at the mobile announcement last year that they plan to support the 3DS and Wii U strongly, no one put a gun to your head asking for a new system.

Not inspiring a ton of confidence here.

Exactly. Or just say that they are working on future hardware. They have many ways to confirm that they are still on the hardware bussiness, but choose to announce the NX.

They can also just go out and say NX is not coming in 2016, as they have debunked many rumors in the past. In fact, this silence is hurting them as people is speculating NX is releasing in 2016 and sales of Wii U and 3DS keeps bad. It will be a smart move to say it is not coming this year and with confidence people can go and buy the actual hardware. But rather they decide to keep silent and let people go wild. Why?
