Nintendo is committing a lot of the same lethal mistakes they did with the WiiU, and more.

Do you think that´s not enough time? They made the concept clear with a single 3 and half minute Teaser, and that´s actually the hard part to get across and understood by as many people as possible. Actually it´s not a bad thing to send out a clear message and give it time to breath and to not overwhelm also gamers that aren´t checking dedicated news sites and forums on a daily bases. Let´s first cement the concept on people minds.

Well I like to know what games I'm buying with more than 2 months notice usually. NS has provided bugger all in terms of what games are coming. Most games I want to buy are on my wish list for over 12 months. 

It´s one thing, if someone has peculiar arbitrary timeframes and a complete different matter when it comes to the actual timeframe needed to get the information across. Even less of a problem if it comes to gamers that actually seek out information on an almost daily basis and for others it´s far more important to explain the concept first, something the teaser actually does a good job for.

 

It´s very peculiar to see people actually think, that after an announcement of an interesting game, they would rather prefer a longer wait between reveal and actual release, than having access to it as soon as possible. It´s also silly to act as if the launch of the system is some kind of deadline, rather than a starting point. If someone educated is interested in the system right now, he can already plan what budget he wants to invest next year and act according to what appeals to him later on.
