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.

Its not same marketing, Nintendo making huge changes last two years, also they had some big changes in marketing department, fact they didn't reveal NX one year before launch and now 5-6 months before launch also point that Nintendo is taking totally different approach compared to Wii U.

Actually Nintendo marketing in recent time was pretty good. For instance all 3DS marketing and NES Mini marketing are great.

You are getting ridiculous, marketing is doing for postives sides and difrences of system compared to competiotion, of course they will not market how much strong NX is compared to PS4 Pro. Nintendo said itself NX is not about power and they will not compete with power with competition, they several times said "new concept" and "new way of playing" so marketing will be mostly focused on that and great new games.

The only hardware that has come out recently from Nintendo is the 2DS, which isn't selling well despite its rock bottom price, and the upcoming NES Mini which doesn't need marketing. NX will be a real test. Can Nintendo Marketing make a underpowered 720p tablet into a desirable product? We'll have to see when Nintendo finally unveils the thing.
