So many rumors and hearsay have built up in that time, and it seems like people are putting some really high expectations out there. It could turn out to be nothing more than a basic handheld that can play Wii-U ports, and plug to the TV like a Vita TV, as well as have very subpar hardware compared to PS4 and XB1, which is just going to lead most people to be disappointed and simply not care. |
He didn't have much of a choice at the time; it was mentioned almost in the same breath as the announcement of the DeNA partnership - so's to assure that the partnership didn't mean they were abandoning the dedicated console business.
But I agree, 18 months is a huge void for rumours and hearsay to fill.
