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

You prove my point by continuing these conversations about NX. You must not be much of a Nintendo fan if you can't recommend NX as this is the most exciting time to be a fan. With the potential of a unified software front with all development going for a handheld console hybrid or at least easy to port. Any  Nintendo fan would be happy if Nintendo goes to cartridges that can be used in your handheld and also your home console.  They could have continued the typical yearly 3-4 games at the holiday time but what's the point without 3rd party support. So instead of wasting that on a dieing console move support to a new console get the first year sales going and get 3rd party support. E3 is big but most gamers still don't pay attention to it especially the casuals that play mainly cod/Madden. 

Oh I'm a fan alright, but far from the dreamer who visited this website 3 years ago. You should have seen the optimism I held for the company before the ensuing years of utter disappointment. The whole big dreams thing died around 2 years ago at E3 2015, concreted by this year. 

But you seem to want to take speculation and say "lets all get hyped guys" on something that may not even be true. For Nintendo, the only thing we can do is wait and see. Also, while a handheld home console hybrid would be cool, a simple unified library across two completely seperte devices would be stupid IMO. If they are two seperate devices, I want a reason to own both. 

You're essentially asking me to put my faith in a company who has let me down for 2 years straight, but not to worry because next year things will be different. Like how this years E3 is going to be different than last year, the same as how this holiday season is going to be different than last years, like how third party support is on board with their big titles this time with the Wii U. There comes a point in a persons life where they gotta start coming to grips with reality. I don't believe in Nintendo anymore, nor do I think hardly anyone else in the world does. 

Will I buy NX? Yes, I am going to buy NX because I love Nintendo's 1st party offerings. They are what I love about gaming, Xenoblade Chronicles is also a series I will not deny myself. But this isn't about me and you or the 50 other people posting on this or even the 150 who voted. This is about Nintendo NOT repeating the same mistakes as the past, one of the biggest ones would be marketing. It's a HUGE reason the Wii U never took off more than it had in its release year, and could have steamrolled all the way to it being what we know the Wii U is today. 

E3 2015 was 11 months ago........
