Hero-of-Time Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 Haha, is that really their "denial"?!?! They may as well have said "Yeah, it's true" There comes a point when saying nothing or skirting around the subject is essentially the same as confirming or denying something. This could be one of those times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcubed Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Well this is what happens when you announce your next console early. The media become primarily interested in the unannounced hardware and rumours/speculation steal all the attention. You reap what you sow :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You reap what you sow :p If they hadn't, then the media would have gone on the "Nintendo dropping hardware to develop mobile games" angle. We all know it. That's exactly why Iwata revealed NX was in the works. I believe he even said so. They were fucked either way :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Yeah it's an awful mess they got themselves into *pokes bear* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Gibbs Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I'd say its true and Nitnendo are also telling the truth - Q4 this year production will cease by which point they will either have launched the NX or have enough stock to survive until well after the Nx launch Its a little bit of a non story, but hyped up on semantics 'this year' is a broad time definition in the business world, especially when Nintendo choose if this year refers to the Gregorian calendar year or the financial year to suit them i.e they could say they aren't ending this year meaning before December, playing on semantics as in Jan 2017 they stop production, which would technically be this financial year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 This is definitely a case of being caught between a rock and a hard place. I'm sure it's true but does it really matter? The Wii U has run its course and while it didn't succeed in any conventional manner, it carved out its own little eco-system and audience. I think it's better for everyone that Nintendo make a swift as possible a switch to the NX, there's no point in throwing more good money after bad if they don't need to.

Ashley Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Yeah but we know Pikachu will never die so it's fine Anyway. I imagine Nintendo would never have admitted this if true or not, but I guess we'll see what E3 brings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pestneb Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) So they're not going to be stopping production within the next 2-3 quarters; that much we know now. Either way, I can't see them stopping before the NX Console actually releases, for reasons I've already mentioned. They'll probably stop a few months after the NX console launches, like they did with the Gamecube. so if GC production ended 1 quarter after the Wii released... NX should release in 1-2 quarters :P April - June is the next quarter... Jul-September the following one... So June release for the NX... I don't see the NX releasing that early, but then who knows? (ok probably a fair few people but I imagine no one on this forum) Edited March 23, 2016 by Pestneb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
