Stop trying to predict Nintendo

To be fair, all console reveals generate a lot of buzz.

It's what happens after the loyal fans take those first console units out of stores during the first months and we see how the console continues to sell what determines a console's real success.

to be fair i'm comparing the annoucement of the scorpio, ps pro and switch, not the success of the machines. ps pro was like "oh ok a better ps4" same with the xbox, with the switch I see a lot of people who are not gamers reacting like "wow" and that's my point, the impact of the announcement because some people said that Nintendo was crazy because they skipped e3. Some people just want to read what they want to read to say that I'm wrong, and maybe I am but that's just my perspective, I'm not creating stories "because I'm a nintendo fan"

Pro and Scorpio are enhanced versions of existing consoles. Switch is the new console from Nintendo that arrives before Nintendo's hungry fans who are hungry for more Nintendo content.

The e3 part, I suppose that comment applies to those who said it. I always think having a good showing at e3 is important for any company, but a console reveal doesn't need to be a e3 exclusive affair.

The idea of Nintendo capturing the casual market and bringing lots of people who wouldn't otherwise buy a console is something they accomplished with the Wii and Nintendo, along with Sony and Micro, have yet to prove that doing such a feat again is possible.
