Dont act like this is a Nintendo thing, all, major companies do it. Sony, Microsoft, Apple, Google, Samsung, they all deny rumors until they want to announce them.

But It IS a nintendo thing in the videogame industry these last years, dont act like if it wasnt, unless you can prove me otherwise, show me after 2010 ( no need to dig in very old news, i'm talking about the actual companies in their actual way of handling leak) one of the 3 constructors straightly lying about something as big as that, denying a rumor about a new model/new console/end of production before the rumor comes true few months later ( yeah because it was only 3 months later for the 3DS XL , which means it was a straight lie, they knew it was coming few months later, it wasnt just an idea, they had already planned it).

 

You'll have trouble to find me something like this.

Didnt sony just lose a class action lawsuit for "deceptive advertisement"?

Lying directly to consumers about product features is far worse than denying rumors that turn out to be true.
