Its still better marketing to try to sell that potential buyer on your new NX console and make promises they can keep and have a stronger market to support their software to pursuade third parties to return to Nintendo. I am pretty sure, altough I like some games on WII U, any buyer thinking they are buying a console that will still be supported for a few years, because nintendo says its not discontinued, will be a very unlikely future Nintendo buyer or fan.

They need people to buy the platforms they are creating for which is in this case just the NX, which should be announced already. I don't like the communication and direction Nintendo have chosen so far for old platforms or the NX, sadly.

Agreed completely. And it's freaking baffling they aren't showing it at E3. I've been getting a lot of crap myself for saying that was a TERRIBLE decision on Nintendo's part. But look at the software output from Nintendo for two years running. Nothing amazing, and I'll repeat NOTHING!!!! *Sigh*

And I do agree that this is a anti comsumer practice to try and get people to buy a product even though they KNOW it's done. But I don't think people are paying attention anymore. Hell, I don't WANT to care anymore. If they didn't have Monolith Soft I probably wouldn't.... Zelda being cross released has left a bad taste in my mouth for the series. Mario, Smash, and Kart are a good go to for me as a gamer, but at the cost of what? Even with the NX, How many exclusives will the others have?

And I was a "Nintendo fanboy" not two years ago, but I just can't help but to feel  somewhat negative and look for the faults in recent news because this is where they left me. Simply confused and angry for two years. They needed some games for this year, and the beginning of next. they at least NEEDED SO BADLY to announce SOMETHING this year that would have peoples jaws on the floor.... But their not doing anything.... They are going to show the worst version of a Zelda coming to two systems and hoping after TWO WHOLE YEARS OF NOTHING people are going to care whenever they decide to show the NX.... 

I don't know why it always comes off disingenuous when people say I was a "Nintendo fanboy" or a big fan of anything and then proceed to talk negatively about a future product we still know next to nothing about. It's funny you charge Nintendo with being anti consumer but aren't both Sony and (allegedly Microsoft) doing the exact same thing. Only we've known that the NX is their next generation, the other companies don't even want to comment on new hardware even though it sounds like both might be launching before NX. Sounds like two companies that are trying curb current system sales from taking a nosedive off a cliff if you ask me.

I think more people are bothered by the fact that Nintendo just isn't conforming to the norm of society. They aren't doing what Sony and Microsoft are so therefore it's already wrong! I wish people would just come out and say this instead of hiding under some guise of acting like Nintendo has never done anything besides going their own way...
