I think Nintendo is afraid to reveal NX

An honest question. How much time does it take for the average consumer to understand a product? Does it really need 4-5 months? If Nintendo released just one single article with all details inside, wouldn't that be enough?

Seriously, what do you do in these 4-5 months? Are people thinking about it over and over until they reached a point where they have the full grasp of the idea behind it? I don't think so, folks. If we can all read and analyze every effing rumour article about it and derive a complete console system out of it within less than one hour, please tell me why Nintendo would need 4-5 months to have enough time to explain the concept of the NX.

With that being said, I think Nintendo will reveal the thing way later than we all thought.

According to Nintendo, it takes years to understand a product. They still say Wii U was never understood and that came out in 2012. If Nintendo is making something and they expect the average consumer to fully understand it in 4-5 months, then they are putting too much faith in the average consumer. The reason Apple can make a new iphone and go from reveal to launch a week later is because years ago they established what iphone is, and they don't have to go beyond what this years new features are. Nintendo will be going in cold with this device. Just throwing it in the market without any time to explain the product would be a bad deal for it.

You misunderstood Nintendo about Wii U, Nintendo never said it takes years to understand product, lol. They never said that Wii U is misunderstood because of time, it's misunderstood because bad marketing. Fact that Wii U was revealed year and half before launch and people still didnt understand what is Wii U proves that marketing is a problem not time.

People can easily (and much better than Wii U) understood what is NX with good and strong marketing in around 3 months, not to mention 4-6 months.
