Do you think Nintendo's holding off of officially revealing NX ultimately helpful or hurtful to Nintendo?

The amount of time it's stagnated is not okay. If they hadn't mentioned the system YEARS ago, I'd be more inclined to believe that a reveal shortly after E3 wouldn't be so bad. But we've been sitting here twiddling our thumbs for too long, and things at Nintendo are in bad shape. They need to do all they can to bring the hype, and they need to do it NOW. No more waiting, no more secrets.

Years ago? What are you talking about? NX was first mentioned in March of last year. Even when they did mention it, they had very little choice. They had announced their their mobile initiative at the same time and had they mentioned mobile without mentioning their future console plans, that would have led to speculation that Nintendo was discontinuing Wii U and 3DS.

You're right, I misremembered--it was a year and change.  I still think that'a way too long for them to be silent about it though.
