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.

Are you really putting faith in the marketing that had years to show what Wii U is about and couldn't do it?

And you're expecting this marketing team to make it happen in a fraction of this time? They haven't shown good and strong marketing around hardware in years. I wouldn't be shocked if the entire marketing team is sitting around a table, with a NX on it and are saying amongst themselves, 'Ok... how do we sell this thing? Its weak, has a low resolution, and will cost as much as hardware that is several times stronger.'

More than likely it will be met with silence.
