Jumpin said: I already predicted January unveil in the other thread. No reason to unveil it before Christmas, that would be a bad idea. |
To be honest this wouldn't surprise me at this stage.
Early January unveil, the only thing I think Nintendo is scared of is there will be another large leak like the Eurogamer one.
Nintendo's marketing sucks either way, whether they have a lot of time or little time. They just need to make sure the system is at least some what interesting and useful from a practical side and that it has the best possible games in its first 8 months that they can throw at it.
The only Nintendo system of the last 20 years I can say had a great marketing campaign was the Wii and maybe the N64, and the Wii didn't really need it because of the casual word of mouth. GameCube, DS, GBA, 3DS, Wii U all had mediocre TV marketing from day 1.
