This whole situation has been really poorly handled by Nintendo.
They announced this thing almost a full *year* ago already and they have shown nothing on it, why even announce it in the first place? Why not say at the mobile announcement last year that they plan to support the 3DS and Wii U strongly, no one put a gun to your head asking for a new system.
Not inspiring a ton of confidence here.

You are assuming a handheld component would take as long to develop games as a home console. It isn't 10 games for handheld and 10 for home console, and we can get 15 for both. The reality is more like in a year you can push out around 15 higher budget handheld, 10 higher budget Wii U and we could get around 12 with a unified library. So instead of 25 unique experieces, we get 12. And I also get that Nintendo can't support a home console and handheld, I'm just looking at the best way to go about their hardware if their software is unified. If it is unified, then they also need to unify the hardware. As we can clearly see, unifying the software isn't in the best interest of gamers, and Nintendo can't support two seperate consoles, so in a sense, don't make two seperate consoles. Have a handheld that can link to any NX as a controller and you will essentially be GIVING the consumer something (multiple ways to buy the top teir console by breaking the cost up into parts), not taking something away. |
So you saying for instance if had 15 games on 3DS and 10 games on Wii U (thats 25 games) we will have 12 games on NX!? That doesn't make any sense because actually that would be worse support than this gen, and Nintendo said they doing unified platform to have better support for one platform than for two separates. In case of unified platform we could have around 17-20 games for single platform instead 25 games on Wii U and 3DS combine, not 12.
They already said handheld and home console will be like brothers and not totally separate like before, so I expecting that NX handheld and home console will have heavy integration, and they will probably have identical hardware with only difference probably in power.
Like I wrote, its best choice for them and consumers, win-win for everybody.

When Sony and MS announced their current consoles and when they actually showed them!?
Nintendo said that they confirmed work on new gaming system like confirmation that they dont leaving console gaming because mobile games. And they actually said several times that they will keep support 3DS and espacily Wii U. Also they never said NX will be launched in 2016. or 2017, they just said they will talk about NX more in 2016. There is no point to reveal new console year or more earlier before launch, just look when Sony/MS reviled PS4/X1.

Sony/MS unveiled the PS4 and XB1 in the same year as launch, Nintendo announced NX almost a year ago and has said nothing since then.
Like what is even the point of that?
If it's not coming in 2016 then just say so, I don't see how this helps the 3DS or Wii U either, this is just a giant unneccessary elephant in the room.
I hope some third party just leaks the whole thing already.

Guess what, Nintendo still did not revile NX, they just confirmed that is already obvious, that they are working on new platform. So if they revile and launch NX this year it will be same like PS/MS done with PS4/X1.
Whats a point of confirmation that Nintendo work on new gaming system and that doesn't leave console gaming with announcement of mobile games!? I will write to you what's point of that, without confirmation of new hardware in development whole industry would be "Nintendo living console gaming and go mobile", especially if we know how bad Wii U is selling so that would seems logical to some people, so they just need confirmed that they not leaving console gaming with just confimiration what was already obvious, that they working on new hardware.
Who said it not coming in 2016!? Actually all points that Nintendo will release at least one new hardware in 2016.
^Lol they announced NX because people like you would have took Ninty going mobile and ran with it. Just like you took NX and ran with it. Now because things are starting to look grim about a launch in 2016, you are becoming bitter? Hilarious!

No they could have just said "we plan to support the Wii U and 3DS and engage in our dedicated platform business more than ever" or something. No one put a gun to their head and forced them to mention NX at all.
Then they follow that up with one of their worst E3 showings.
I don't see the point in 'announcing a system' and then literally saying nothing about it for almost a full year, and on top of that they had a complete shit show of an E3 show.
All this has been very poorly handled.

Its mainly for their investors, to assure they have products in the pipeline (i.e QOL). The message of supporting an older 3DS and stubbornly riding Wii U would not inspire confidence. But even with that said, we should get at least one form of NX this yr , its hard to imagine Nintendo continue eroding their business for the entire 2016.

Hopefully we get something before March 15 ... even by Nintendo's standards a calendar year without saying anything is bordering on just becoming incredibly silly.

Mentioning further support of 3DS and WiiU wouldn't have stopped the nonsense of Ninty going mobile. The rest of your post is pure frustration.
