palou said: I mean, let's say, launch mid summer. The presentation heavily focused on hardware, 2 weeks before E3, to make sure that people know more is coming. An excellent E3 shortly before launch, with Spla2n, MK8D, Zelda, Arms, and a substantial list of third parties for launch. I just don't see the purpose of getting in early with uncertain reception when so much more could be done just a few months later. |
Summer would be the worst time to launch. It is when video game sales are at their lowest because people in the U.S and Europe are busy with vacations/spending time outside. Also it changes very little besides the perception of hardcore gamers. Eitherway you get to play Splatoon 2 and MK8D come summer, except your scenario we'd have to wait to play Zelda. How exactly is that better?
