It's enough but the timing is wrong. They have the attention of everyone now, the whole industry is looking and listening at them, and they'll just let everyone go back to buying PS4 and Xbox for Christmas. "They don't want to overshadow the 3DS" also means "they don't want to overshadow the PS4 and Xbox One". Prioritizing your previous system over your newest one and letting your competitors selling peacefully for the biggest period of the year in the process is a pretty weird/bad decision. 

 

Or it just shows that they indeed don't plan on killing the 3DS anytime soon ;) 

Is there any situation where you wouldn't complain? If they hadn't shown the NS, you would complain about leaving the field for Sony/MS, too. If they released it this holiday, you would complain that they wouldn't give Pokemon a fair chance. I think you simply WANT to complain either way, no matter what NIntendo did.

Wut? I couldn't care less about how Pokemon will be doing this Christmas. If you think that Pokemon should be afraid of the Switch's marketing lowering its sales, I think it's wrong to the point of being laughable. They could also have waited before announcing it in January, I wouldn't complain either (it would be an error IMO, but I wouldn't complain). 

The only thing I complain about is that we endured A YEAR of BS threads about "NX NX NX NX NX NX NX NX NX NX NX NX NX NX NX NX NX NX NX NX", to get to a BS reveal with absolutely nothing in it, and now we have the same BS threads but with only one different word "Switch Switch Switch Switch Switch Switch Switch Switch Switch Switch Switch Switch Switch Switch Switch Switch Switch" and absolutely no additional substance, and we'll still have the same BS threads for months until the real reveal. The forums are full of 1875358 NX/Switch threads and 90% of them say the exact same things, most of them being useless or completely irrealistic rumors or predictions ("Guys, I know the NX will sell more than 1 billion console"/"Guys, I know the NX will sell 10 consoles only"). No wonder people are saying that the forums are less healthy now than a few years ago. It's not only because of the charts not being updated, it's also because of the constant spam, and the aggressivity towards anyone not overhyped by the last fart a developer did when someone said the name NX/Switch.

Look at the threads' content and OPs : you can say that you're sure that the NX will be the best console ever made, no problem, but if you dare to say that Nintendo should have given us more info, you're a hater just wanting to complain. The community has a problem with this console and it would be great if we could debate about it without being complete fanatics, and talk about marketing, strategy, audiences, numbers without going immediately in "you simply want to complain either way no matter what Nintendo did" (great repartee by the way). Unfortunately, we can't. So yes, it just gives the impression that anyone not overhyped about the Switch should STFU and GTFO of the forums. That's pretty sad.
