Same for me.

I began playing with gameboy, but i was so disapointed with the 3ds and WiiU, so i will stop here too probably.

Except if the Nx got A LOT of hits, and even so, i will not get it before 2/3 years.

There's plenty of time to announce and promote the NX before its announced launch in March 2017, and there are several things that the author of that article ignores or simply don't know.

Nintendo hasn't attended the Tokyo Game Show in years. Anyone hoping that Nintendo would change their mind and announce their new platform there was simply delusional.

Even if they reveal the NX in a Direct, which I hope they don't, they can still use the coming events to increase awareness of the NX among not only gamers but also the general public. For instance, they can use the Game Awards in December to show a couple of trailers for upcoming NX games to increase hype among gamers, and then there's the CES in January to get the attention of mass media and the general public.

And of course, there's the Game Developer's Conference or GDC in late Feb/early March that they can use to give the NX a final marketing push before launch.

Not revealing the NX at the E3 is bad, I won't argue with that, but E3 is no longer the only option.

Meh. I had a similar guess 5 days ago. Except I spared everyone from enduring multiple walls of delusions. If Forbes gets it right, it was luck.

My guess.

They'll make a presentation after black friday, just before or on launch day of Super Mario Run, in that occasion they'll also present NX. That way they'll guarantee to have the best media coverage, even from smartphone related publications.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the NX get delayed, but I kinda have a feeling that we'll still see it release in March.

This isn't evidence of anything. Nintendo could announce today and release tomorrow if they really wanted to (and if they had the units ready obviously, which nobody knows).

December reveal wouldn't be great. PlayStation Experience is also in December not to mention all the games that got pushed toward December.

meh.

some people claimed that the ps4 slim and pro where delayed to 2017 because the announcement was just much to late to happen for a 2016 release. i don't think that's the case anymore. sony explicitly said and i think nintendo is subscribing to the same thought: people don't want a large amount of time between when something is announced and when it is available for purchase. this is true for games. i think it is true for hardware now too.

the announcement can create hype but there needs to be constant feeding from the company (sony/nintendo) to consumers to keep it in the headlines.

so personally,.. i'm going to believe march 2017 is still probable until around january 31st. if we still haven't heard a word by then i'll be more apt to believe a delay is happening. i think 3-6 months is the appropriate amount of time for NX to be announced. i personally think the october announcement rumor is both plausible and probable.

Real info would be nice, rather than all this speculation

That's very sad, but it's exactly my feeling too. I was a fan for like 18 years now. I even got hyped by Wii U, tried to overpass things that I disliked in it, but it never excited me enough, so I bought a XOne. Even my 3DS was eventually sold due to lack of really quality games (it's 2016, I love Pokemon, but it's not enough for me anymore).

Day after day, I've been waiting for news of the NX, but I already realized that it won't fulfill my expectations (it's just impossible at this point, they missed the point way back there) and living in Brazil, where 350 USD consoles are sold for like 650 USD, makes me have to choose just one console per time and that one console probably won't be Nintendo anytime in the near future.
