They have a track record of straight lies, remember :

Nikkei leaking the 3DS XL : http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/30431/nikkei-says-larger-3ds-redesign-potentially-coming-this-summer

Then Nintendo denying it : http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-06-04/nintendo-denies-nikkei-report-of-larger-3ds-wii-u-price


Still it's shameful how they straightly lie, they really take their buyers for dumb people and have no respect, they should just ignore the leak.

Dont act like this is a Nintendo thing, all, major companies do it. Sony, Microsoft, Apple, Google, Samsung, they all deny rumors until they want to announce them.

I would be surprised to see Nintendo not deny this..

Will wait for the actual NX reveal to see how this turns out

Nintendo has a habit of actively denying things right before they do exactly what they're denying. Not saying it means its true, but I'm not going to take Nintendo for their word.

Wouldn't be the first time a company deny a "true" rumor. Anyway, I hope they don't stop Wii U production so soon. Even if the NX releases this year, it should still move some units next year.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

I doubt that the Wii U will sell much in 2017. Chances are good that NX will be the same price or cheaper.

If they don't cut Wii U's price... then yeah, it won't sell at all. Anyway, this made me remember of the DS/3DS situation where it was selling decently well for an old gen handheld and hurted the 3DS a bit when it was younger. So maybe will cease production (WiiU) to reinforce the focus on NX as well. I don't know.

But It IS a nintendo thing in the videogame industry these last years, dont act like if it wasnt, unless you can prove me otherwise, show me after 2010 ( no need to dig in very old news, i'm talking about the actual companies in their actual way of handling leak) one of the 3 constructors straightly lying about something as big as that, denying a rumor about a new model/new console/end of production before the rumor comes true few months later ( yeah because it was only 3 months later for the 3DS XL , which means it was a straight lie, they knew it was coming few months later, it wasnt just an idea, they had already planned it).

 

You'll have trouble to find me something like this.



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

Well of course they'll deny something like that.

Doesn't mean it's not true.

As if it mattered whether or not Nintendo will cease production of Wii U consoles this year. Everyone should have already gotten the message that this is the last year for Wii U games, so continued production of the console wouldn't prolong the lifecycle of the system as far as new games are concerned.

The people who thought it would come out in 2017 probably got the message by now. But the ones who believe it may come out in 2018 are a tougher nut to crack.

Saw that comment seconds ago on YouTube and can't stop laughing.
