So far, we have 31 people who say 2016, compared to 13 who say 2017.

All the better when we see 31 people with crow avatars.

 

Eh, stop brainwashing potential allies!

NX getting fully revealed this spring and launching during the holidays isnt much different than PS4/XB1 getting revealed in Feb/May 2013 and releasing that holiday.

It seems like alot of people forget that those consoles released the same year they were revealed.


True enough, and Nintendo did that too, with the Wii, which is why I've gone for 2016. But Microsoft's experience is a bit of a cautionary tale - if they'd had a full year+ to row back on the controversial elements of the reveal (followed by a re-reveal) rather than a couple of months then things may have turned out differently for them.

actually they didnt with Wii. Revolution, the Wii codename, was announced at E3 2005, 1.5 years before launch.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

But people are also kind of forgetting that Xbox and Playstation are powerful name brands that don't need to gather hype as they sell very well on their own. Nintendo on the other hand....

And even with the Xbox 360 being the "hardcore gamers console of choice" last gen, it didn't stop it from mediocre sales. Having the time to address things, or being able to spread the word about a product isn't a bad thing.

Everything is pointing to a 2016 release. So, put me on 2016. Either works and I'd prefer it to be 2017 so I'd happily eat crow either way.

Threads needs a poll, 2016 or 2017

Because most post on this website have so many sources. right? But I agree with you none the less.



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

well i guess there is no way to truly prove it but it would be nice if he gave some reasoning as to why he thinks PS/XB dont need hype to sell while Nintendo does.
