It means that it's the best device ever created in the universe and that Nintendo needs to keep it secret for as long as possible, so when the inevitable copycats arrive the NX would've already been out for ages.

Isn't the wii u only like 4 years old?
Why are they already releasing another console?

Because it's a flop.

They're thinking it's really important they don't screw it up, so they best be ready with a really good reveal at just the right time

Neither PS4 nor Xbone were revealed at E3, E3 isn't that important these days

Can they say they won't reveal something and then reveal it as a surprise? Or is that against E3 rules or something?

It'll be 4.5 years once the NX releases. Which is marginally shorter than their standard cycle.

>>
>>340591254
>E3 isn't that important these days
Not this again. This rhetoric only started once Nintendo said the NX wasn't being shown at E3 this year. E3 is important and still very relevant to the industry. Nintendo held seperate events because they'd be easily overshadowed by other presentations. Just imagine if Nintendo had to go after last year's Sony conference with their "transformation" bullshit.

Sad.
>>
i'll buy whatever they put out
>>
>>340591309
If the rumours are true, they may be changing the NX up for VR compatibility, which would explain its delay.
>>
>>340591508
It's been said for a few years anon thanks to strong rumours of a few publishers like EA expressing disinterest in E3.
>>
>>340591508
So big that a shitload of publishers opted having a floor presence. So big that even the big three would rather show most of their shit on their own terms .

They probably don't want to share the spotlight with other announcements during E3.
I'm hopeful this means Spaceworld, or an equivalent, is happening again this year.

Of course they are. Because they can't show anything new, only rehashes.

Considering how many people bought the Wii U and that their competition is trotting out revised consoles, I think they'd have been better off getting something out this year.

If the software wasn't ready, it wasn't ready and I don't blame them, but I do think it would be good to get some competitive hardware out the door earlier with a nice price.

E3 has been becoming less and less important due to the internet.

Keep laughing faggots, NX will be revolutionary and a game changer just like the Wii U was. They're not showing it at E3 because they KNOW they're going to turn the market upside down regardless once it releases and it's going to trick Sony and Microshaft into believing they don't need to try at E3 too except they're going to fail miserably because neither companies have the innovative ingenuity of Nintendo.

Daily reminder that the N64 and the GC were not revealed on their year's E3, and they were amazing consoles, so just trust in nintendo, they know they cant rush things, because MS and Sony will be paying attention to what nintendo is going to do and they will try their best to copy them

Nintendo was also a way different kind of developer in the 64 and GC days. They haven't had that level of quality in a long time.

His post explicitly said that the normal lifespan for consoles is ~4 years. Generally consoles that are around 4 years are less successful, consoles that are more successful see more time until their successor comes.
>Sega Genesis 1989 - Sega Saturn 1995
>NES 1985 - SNES 1991
>PC Engine 1987 - PC FX 1994
I'm pretty sure the first two Playstations were around 6 years and still got plenty of games a year into the successor's life span.

When you talk about ~4 year consoles, that's like Saturn, original Xbox, the PC-FX, systems that didn't sell well. Even looking at Nintendo, the later systems that didn't sell as well tended to wind down at around 5 years.

When a console sells well and has lots of people buying software for it, it tends to hang around.

Wii and DS have some good games, but nothing on the level of what they used to make. 3DS library also has some worthwhile entries, but the Wii U library is absolutely pathetic.

1. They are going to show the NX at its own event
2. E3 stopped being the biggest gaming event like 5 or 6 years ago.
>>
>>340595037
N64 was meh. What they teased was Silicon Graphics Workstation graphics. What we got was blurry and restrictive.

GameCube started out strong, but fell flat on its face and into obscurity.

Wii sold really well...just not a whole lotta games did, too. It'll be fondly remembered for Reggie being a whiny little shit regarding the North American release of Xenoblade Chronicles by stating he'd only consider it if it sold out in Europe. Thank you, based Eurobros.

The DS succeeded because it was a platform that allowed for experimentation like the Playstation did. Same for the 3DS, really.

I mean sure, they each had some good games and that's what its all about at the end of the day, but just imagine what could have been if Nintendo developed their systems to be on-par with the competition to better allow for x-platforming, weren't jews when it came to licensing fees, did media play (DVD movie, etc.), AND kept with their innovation.

But no, Nintendo is a toy company first and foremost, and toys is all they'll make from now on.

They're thinking that E3 is becoming obsolete and they're correct. They know that the value is entirely in the press conference, which they already don't need because of the Direct format, which, if you recall, they did one last year during E3. Floor space is expensive and largely pointless because the showroom is only for press and people are caring less and less about the press these days. That's why they're only bothering to show the new Zelda on the floor this year. They're only paying for enough space to show their biggest product and everything else will be through a Direct.

N64 still managed to do big sales in North America and Europe. Saturn only got its sales from Japan. Saturn was, unfortunately, hit the hardest during that point.

Nintendo didn't lay off a good chunk of its employees while scrambling to push the next console out like SEGA did after Saturn.

And if you want to get technical, Saturn's 3rd party support was worse since most of the better 3rd party games were locked down for Japan-only. Nintendo was fortunate enough to get some western and Japanese 3rd parties that SEGA couldn't.
>>
So should I get a 3DS or NX will be the new handheld and I should wait for that?
>>
>>340593331
it's been called a home console by reggie and iwata. The fact Zelda is getting ported practically confirms that fact.

Besides that, the 3DS is still doing well and no one is pushing Nintendo is shit out another handheld quite yet.

>>340602224
3DS. If NX isn't a home console, it's gonna be smartphone-tier garbage.
>>
>>340591604
Nintendo already mentioned they don't find VR fun, and considering where the tech is at, there's no way they'd make a VR console. No evidence it will catch on, no proof that games are wholly enhanced by it, and way too pricey.

>>340602224

Nah, Saturn got tons of games from several different companies in Japan. PSX is the obvious winner, but Saturn is still a step above the N64 in terms of having a diverse library offering.

e3 could have been a festival of video games. it could have been like its european counterparts. but instead it just became more "BUY THE TICKET GOY" and really, really shitty canned shows with forced applause.

That won't mean a fucking thing.

See: The Wii U. Everyone thought it was a half step from the Wii.

Its a stupid demographic. Either you already own a PS4 or you don't want one. Selling people that already own your console a marginal upgrade for a big price is only gonna work on kids with parents money.

If they announce it at E3 it will be overshadowed by all of the other hype

If they announce it in a dedicated Direct, it will be the only major news for the day and get much more recognition. E3 is a terrible place to reveal your console for the first time.

By the time NX is released the Wii U will almost be 5 years old, which is normal

Now the Xbox "one-two" and PS4.5 are coming out very early on the other hand
>>
>>340590476

I think the announcement of sony releasing a mere console revision was actual infarct enough to scare Nintendo from announcing anything at E3.

It's amazing how far Nintendo has fallen to tuck in it's tail to a slim version from a competitor.

>>340603042
>Selling people that already own your console a marginal upgrade for a big price is only gonna work on kids with parents money.
Worked for Sony getting people to buy a PS4 at launch.

It's definitely better now, but it was honestly only a marginal upgrade to the PS3 at launch, especially with how many re-releases they did.

Doesn't really matter. People get incredibly hyped over dumb shit like a kickstarter or trailer for a game that was announced 10 years ago.

The point is, when they reveal the NX, its going to be the ONLY thing people talk about that week, not one of 30 things.

This image has been kicked around on these boards before. If it's true, it sounds like they weren't expecting Sony and Microsoft to release revised editions of their home consoles -- which I do believe are being released to at least partially counter whatever Nintendo is coming with, regardless of what company PR is putting out.

Neither of the other players can actually afford a resurgent Nintendo.

Oh that's simple; Atlus decided to drop the SMT part and wanted to make their version of Fire Emblem. Nintendo couldn't give a shit and just let them.
>>
>>340603971
actually a console cycle is the span between system releases. It has nothing to do with support.

Despite the fact the DS launched only 3 years after the GBA did, it is a generation ahead of the GBA.

So that said, the PS1 had a 4 year cycle. PS2 had 6 years, and the PS3 had 7 years. The Wii had 6 years, and the 360 had 8 goddamn years.
>>
>>340604026
PS4 is within 300k units of outselling the Wii U in Japan. The Wii U won't have anything more going for it either to keep the lead up, so it's only a matter of time before the PS4 overtakes it. The Wii U had a 15 month head start too.
>>
>>340604251
It hadn't overtaken it yet? That's bizarre.
>>
>>340603475
Yes that's exactly where I'm going with it. They (game publishers) simultaneously pushed for what they wanted and killed the golden goose.

A lot of you weren't that interested in video games back in the 2000s and even less of you were on /v/.

For a five year span, e3 was the biggest ticket all year. To this day it still retains some of its magic power that elicits excitement. But it's really a shadow of where it was and the publishers have finally started pulling out.
>>
>>340603713
>rumors that are absolutely gonna happen

And yet it does absolutely nothing to appeal to fire emblem fans, with the entire game looking like a bad megaten instead.

The reason why is twofold: Nintendo is still a very Japanese company and Japan still likes Nintendo more than the rest of the world does, and Sony has been treating Japan as an afterthought, since they know global sales can be much higher than potential sales should they focus on Japan.

They want their own event and time

E3 this year is going to be filled with half gen skips and VR and Nintendo doesnt want to talk about NX and not have a demo for it

Their timing release is to have NX revealed at March with a healthy library, while also having E3 right around the corner for ever more games to show

It's a strategy that's going to pay off in the long run

Difference between me and you is I didn't fucking buy a PS3 until after several price drops, and plenty of great games were available. I didn't give them my money or reward them for being fucking horrible at their job.
