Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Digitimes: Nintendo NX will be released in 2016.

Interesting... Maybe they plan to pull a Dreamcast and announce NX next E3 releasing it one month after announce?
Talks about production dates in the article looks quite realistic.

There are two things wrong in the article. First, Nintendo stated they want to reveal NX in 2016, not release it. Second is about 20M in first year, you are talking about a console that sells on par with Wii, that is not possible given the market condition now.

True about First, but for second does not necessarily mean is wrong, I think NX could be very affordable console or new handheld, something similar like Wii was when was launched. Bigger issue in statement is launch around July.

Tbh we can only wait until it's release to know my second statement is true or false. At 2004 - 2005 nobody think Wii will become a phenomenon. Also at 2010 - 2011 we don't know Wii U will become a disaster :p



A handheld gamer only (for now).

20 million in the first year???



20m first year? Splatoon 2 as launch title confirmed!

I hope for nintendo fans that's not true regardless if it's a console or a handheld. It's too early.



20 million shipment target for the 1st year is massive, that heavily suggest a portable hybrid or multi-form factor line of hardware.

Unless Nintendo has some new magical sex toy controller there's no way they're hitting 20 million with just a vanilla console + controller gimmick, their brand is far too weak in the console arena for that. 

Also XBox 360 (unveiled May 2005), PS4 (unveiled March 2013), XBox One (unveiled May 2013), Nintendo DS (revealed May 2004), and Nintendo 3DS were all released several months after their unveilings. 

So really it was just Nintendo's consoles that weren't following the industry standard. No one wants to see something exciting and then be told they can't buy it for 18 months.

Digitimes is fairly reliable and well connected. Nintendo will likely come out tomorrow and deny the report, but it's probably true. Denial is the first stage of acceptance.

Khm... That corresponds well with their QoL researches... )))
