The event was a sneak peek. It wasn't the full reveal. So why are they throwing a fit? All we can do is trust Nintendo's judgement to not show much more of the switch until next year. Why are they doing this? I don't know. Maybe they're trying the Apple approach. Get it in people's heads real close to the release date. Still if NX fails, which it really can't "fail" as it will be making profit day 1, Nintendo should focus more on providing experiences for mobile and other consoles.

Hopefully switch isn't a disaster. I hope Nintendo knows what they're doing with this.

It's easier to trust I guess when it's not your money on the line, lol. 

Investors are skeptical and nervous, because Nintendo fucked up royally the last 5-6 years in the hardware market. 

I don't think a "teaser trailer" and nothing else was the smartest unveil strategy as well. 

I think Nintendo is aware that a teaser trailer and nothing else was a bad move. They'd be insane not to think it's a bad move. But there must be a reason why they're so tight lipped about everything. Sure it's not my money but as history repeats itself, never count Nintendo out. 3DS is doing okay on the market, not the DS but it's still no small feat at 61 million. Something other handhelds still haven't achieved.  

The good news in all of this is NX won't be sold at a loss. That's Wii U's first misstep. They also said they're aware of what consumers are gaguing the price at. I think Nintendo is headed in the right direction but it isn't apparent now. Switch will alieveate many of Nintendo's 1st party issues, and their dedication to mobile games will help. I called people insane when they thought Pokemon Go would increase 3DS hardware and Software sales...I was dead wrong. It worked. XY, ORAS started charting #1, or 100K. 

I think this will play out fine for them.
