Yes, influenced, but point is that Sega almost bankrupt, basically they left you without money, that's why they were forced to abandon hardware market. Nintendo is in totally different position, they are full of money and they are making profit this gen despite Wii U failed, Nintendo is currently expanding business.

I wonder if the WiiU failed financially, like, if the profit was smaller than the cost overall, RD and everything. If I ran these companies I would always make plans to turn a profit even in the darkest of the scenarios. I hate risk.

I think Nintendo with Wii U at is on positive zero, they didnt make some big profit but they are not in loss also. Nintendo is very financially aware, they are well known for that they can make profit from everything, you will never see Nintendo selling console at big loss for years like MS done with original Xbox or Sony with PS3, they always thinking how to make profit out of gate, I think Wii U is their 1st console that make them lose with launch selling price.

Good for them, this is very important.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

No reason to hurry buddy, another failure could mean the end of our beloved Nintendo as we know it. Let us give them time to prepare everything so it is just right. Remember SEGA people, always remember SEGA.
I advice all of you to do what I did: buy a bunch of good cheap games  (Batman for me) and get into a cool Netflix series (Arrested Development for me) and forget about the NX.
Also, be anxious about the Russia/USA tensions, it will take your mind out of the NX.

I thought you were done with Nintendo because you're tired of waiting?

I got fed up. Even gave my WiiU to my niece as a gift. Then stopped watching NX rumor videos. 

When they reveal it, then I will start to care again. =)

I guess the failure of Saturn and Dreamcast influenced their decision. Nintendo had a taste of the mobile market. I think the NX success will help to consolidate their will into stay in the console market. So, I think they are procrastinating because they are fine tuning something, not the console, but the presentation and deals for third party support.

Yes, influenced, but point is that Sega almost bankrupt, basically they left out without money, that's why they were forced to abandon hardware market. Nintendo is in totally different position, they are full of money and they are making profit this gen despite Wii U faile, Nintendo is currently expanding business.

Exactly, that's why they are Sega-Sammy, and not just Sega. Their financial ruin with their failed hardware and easily piratable software made them exit the hardware business. Not only did Wii U outsell both Dreamcast and Saturn, but Nintendo's software vastly outsold Segas. Mario 3D World alone probably outsold the entire 1st party sales of Saturn. It probably outsold all of Dreamcasts 1st party software too.

 

I won't even comment about Nintendos hardware and software sold on 3DS.

I remember Peter Main stating that the Gamecube launched at a loss of about $9 per console; still not nearly as much as WiiU though.  Plus, I'm sure GC manufacturing costs came down very quickly compared to WiiU.

Perhaps they will... Perhaps they won't reveal NX, instead we're going to see more 3DS contents.

I hope i am wrong about this.

If we are lucky we'll get a Direct in December..
