Official Emily Rogers Discussion Thread: No More Rumors Until January

I understand the situation pretty well: they are delaying the game for the sake of another version. We have faced the truth. We knew since years ago, hell, since the first delay, that we were not going to play it until NX was released. True.

Now the point is that the console is going to be released, finally, but the game is not ready. All that wait for these years is worthless now because their greed. I fail to see how wanting the game to be the best it can be, to the point of possibly pushing it to Summer, the deadest season for video game sales, translates to greed. What exactly are they greedy about? If they were truly greedy, they would have chopped the game into expansion packs, and made a Day 1 patch, along with the $60 full retail launch. But nope, this is a standard Nintendo launch.

This is not about bugs, testing or polish it to perfection. The game may not be ready at launch because they were wasting time on a port. A port that requires bugs, testing, and polish to make sure it plays better than the original version, as to push Switch sales.

And just to remember something: Zelda needs only 2 million to break, and considering sales of some games, the Wii U version alone could have guaranteed at least double the amount. Releasing a definitve version like Splatoon and MK would have make some duoble dip, like me.
2-3 million Wii U sales alone or 1-2 Million Wii U sales PLUS 7-8 million Switch sales, coming from the people who passed on the Wii U and are intrigued by the Switch. PLUS a stronger launch for Switch. Just like with Twilight Princess. It worked then, it'll work now. THAT'S why they're doing it.

Nintendo is by no means a hero. They are not polishing the game. They are not caring for their fans. They failed at their plan and this could hurt Switchs launch, because as much as you doubt, many are excited to play Zelda on Switch.
If they're not polishing it, then what are they doing? If they didn't care for their fans, they wouldn't be releasing the game at all.
And where did I imply any doubt about people wanting it on Switch. That's EXACTLY what I've been trying to say this whole time. 
15-20 happy Switch custumors > 3-5 unhappy Wii U customers because the game isn't Wii U exclusive.

You're taking an ant hill and turning it into Mount Everist. You need to calm down, dude. You're acting like they kidnapped your child. You do this. Every. Single. Time, when a rumor, just a rumor, pops up that they may delay a Zelda game. 
It's just a video game. It's not life and death, Jesus.

And you're gonna buy it anyway, chances are you may end up buying both versions. So despite this huge rant that has taken place, in the end, Nintendo wins.

No no and no. If you really believe everything is fine, that explains why sales for their consoles have gone to hell. People always try to find excuses. The only way Zelda is going to sell those numbers you expect is at launch. Not after it.
