| DélioPT said: Some say there's a chance they will still reveal it this month. personally, i always thought it would be in September/early October as to not interfere with 3DS and Wii U holiday sales (they start growing around October). Now, i can't see them revealing before Christmas. Still, i could be wrong: that investor's meeting could really force them to spill the beans on NX. |
Honestly I'd be shocked if a reveal happens now. Sony is advertising PSVR pretty heavily, Neo is around the corner, and Xbox is showing Gears 4 and the rest of their holiday stuff. Announcing it now would probably lose it in the shuffle.
The way its looking I wouldn't be surprised if they do a announcement in Feb and roll the device out for sale in March. But if rumors are to be believed and its a 720p tablet, I wouldn't be surprised if it gets largely ignored. It really does look like they want to roll it out before the end of the fiscal year, so that even if this year is packed with massive losses, they can point to NX and say that the future is better. Even if NX sells out at launch, I can't see it offsetting the entire fiscal year.
