The Media once again hammering Nintendo. Just to insure that no one buys a Wii U, they are broadcasting as wide as possible that it will be obselete soon. Microsoft really have hit a new low.

I personally don't think so. But am going on the hypothesis that it is. I would personally pick #1: Xbox and PS fans wouldn't allow a 9th gen to start so soon. Well keep it in the 8th and make them start over.

You need to update your OP and Title. Nintendo confirmed this morning that there will be NO hardware reveiled at E3.

Well, remind me not to count Peer Schneider's sources as super reliable in the future.

This is just corporate speak for the fact that the unveiling will be done during the digital event and they won't be demoing on floor at E3. How COULD they demo Nintendo OWL in a showroom, guys?!

He had his sources. Usually Peer is pretty acurate. But I don't know what nintendo counts as hardware, because in that NVC, they were talking about maybe a pro controller or something. 

And did they successfully expand the market?

Yes they did lol, where have you been?

Edit: I still disproved your point, dont make this another argument now. 

No you haven't. The 2DS and XL do not exist.

Actually the title could still end up correct. Ninteno only said they are not announcing any hardware at E3, it could still happen some other time this year. :-p
