Yes, both of those things I mentioned I don't get. There would be no sales loss for saying Nintendo is stopping production of Wii U, and an NDA when other companies were supposedly talking about games they had coming for the NX in a line that simply asks if developers were currently making games for NX both would have 0 effect on the sales of Wii U. Saying it would only serves the purpose of saying everyone are idiots and don't realise the new console is 3 months away from being revealed. 

The worst thing for sales was announcing NX in the first place, and they did that. The other things listed above are trivial at worst and completely irrelevant at best.

Yes there would be a loss in sales for this announcement.
You have no evidence supporting your claim whatsoever. But I have evidence that supports mine. Just pick and chose among the many comments on the subject.


There are plenty of other comments like this. People are mainly worried about game support in 2017 when they heard this. Some say they'll buy a PS4 instead. And you know why that is bad? Because if they had waited until E3 and seen NX first, they may have been impressed and not have spent money on PS4 instead. There are many more factors to consider that you seem oblivious to.

I've told you time and again. There are reasons for why there's a time and place to make certain announcements.
Nintendo would not have their PR team respond to these reports if they didn't fear negative consequences.

And notice this persons mind didn't change after Nintendo released their statement. ALso, we have to assume this person is going to actually go through with not buying the product, how many times have you seen on this website where someone said they had no interest or didn't want a product later to write in a discussion "well I just got a _____, what games do you recommend". Happens all the time.
