Because this isn't an iphone. People here seems to think that Apple sells a lot so their strategy to wait at the last minute to show a product is the right one. But that's just not true. The iphone is a successful established brand, the switch is not, it's a new brand they have to build from the ground up. The iphone has an annual release, everybody knows it, wait for it. the switch is not an annual product, it's completely new The new iphones are upgrades of a very familiar product, from the hardware to the OS, everybody knows how to use an iphone and what it does. The switch again is not, it's a completely new product that Nintendo has to explain and sell to people, it takes time. You add to that that the entire web will do their marketing work for them, from the media, to youtubers, to any commenters, websites, etc they are all talking about the iphone because they know it will get a massive amount of clicks. Again, the Switch will never have that much coverage.
And last thing, the iphone was release the 29th of July 2007, do you know when it was announced? The 9th of January, and with a lot more details that Nintendo gave in their videos.
But let's go now with the obvious, publishers needs time to market their games too, the PS4 was revealed 9 months before the launch and all infos were given 4 months later, so 5 months before launch too. And at the time, we all thought it was already a really short period of time to introduce a new system to consumers. |
But fact is that Nintendo doesn't manage Switch like Apple do with iPhone. When Apple reveals iPhone you have iPhone in stores just one week later. Nintendo revealed Switch 5 months before launch and has full reveal around 2.5 months before actually launch, so totally different approaches, so your comparing iPhone with Switch doesnt make any sense. And people already very well understand what is Switch from Switch reveal trailer.
Switch on launch will most likely have PS4/XB1 ports of games that are already on market if we talk about 3rd party support, so whats a point of marketing games 4-5 monts earlier for system that will be on market in 4-5 months, when you can already buy all those games on XB1/PS4 right now!? It's totally make sense to have all announcements, with new games and ports on full reveal, not make some partial announcements about some ports that are already on market 4-5 months before actually launch.

I'm not actually trying to respond to you, because for you, all the decisions Nintendo makes are good decisions, but anyway, read the answer I gave to Jumpin if you actually believe you can hear a different opinion about something. |
Of Course that not every decisions Nintendo makes is good decision, but Nintendo is for now managing Switch great and much better than Wii U. I already gave you answer, I hear every opinion not just different.
