How often have they mentioned it though? They gave 2 letters and have said it's a new concept that they will talk about at some point this year. That's basically it.

Every investors brefing, a lot of Kimishima interviews, E32015 ND.

Lol Interviews & investor Q&A are your answer? U do realize there is a huge difference between bringing up a topic and being asked about a topic. Nobody has given any concrete info other than its new concept that will be talked about later this year.

I don't recall it being mentioned in the E3 Direct but I could be wrong.

Then it must be handled very different from a bussiness perspective because it is bussiness sense to show support for your current platforms. They are so quiet that we don't know if there's more support for Wii U and 3DS outside of "unnanounced titles" that just excites forum minorities while the outside mainstream people just see the lack of games or info on new games as non-support.

Outside the mainstream no one has ever really followed the platform even during releases and in fact that's the group that doesn't really care about constant support as the PS4 had a dull 1st year of releases but was fine it's marketing that catches them, any support for the current platforms now won't change the situation or have have any siginificant impact on competitiveness. Want an example, those moments you touted in your own post did nothing for the Wii U in fact the sales baseline now when things are quiet is double than back then.

They're clearly gearing up for NX and just letting the current platforms phase out.

Where did you get that sales has been doubled? Outside of Japan, Wii U is down YoY?

They have mentioned many times and nobody has asked them. And Reggie mentioned in the E32015 ND at the beggining of the amiibo clip section.

Were you not here for the first 2 years of the U's launch? We're not only talking about Japan which has been the U's best region where it often outsold the PS4, it was selling around 30k WW per week (most from Japan) now it sells around 60k WW, the sales baseline is double what it was back then which highlights those moments you mentioned did nothing.

The console baseline last year was still around 30k WW. I don't know where are you getting the 60kWW.

WiiU sales were pretty poor in 2015 up until the release of Splatoon, slowed down during the summer, went up slightly due to SMM, down again and then up for Black Friday and the holiday season.

I simply averaged their global sales numbers but I've noticed I looked at the wrong year for the launch year but mind you global is higher in 2015 than 2013 which had some of the moments you mentioned.

It went down YoY in The Americas and Other.

2015 dropping from 2014 isn't even that big a surprise considering the latter was when MK and Smash arrived, 2013 is still the weakest performing year and that's when those moments took place so either way it still stands that they did nothing.
