Nintendo's silence on NX seems pretty crazy. At this point, I can't imagine Nintendo releasing new hardware as early as March. I hate to be negative, but I feel pretty confident that isn't going to happen now. If there really is a delay, it will be holiday 2017 I'm sure. That would mean a reveal likely won't happen until early next year or possibly even E3. I hope I'm wrong, but Nintendo's refusal to talk about this damn thing is discouraging.
What makes this whole situation worse is that as more and more speculation and hype build, expectations will be harder to meet. We are also reaching the point now where many have either lost interested or stopped caring entirely. I understand Nintendo wants to be more careful in presenting this new hardware, but I feel that conservatism may have already done some damage.
We shall see what happens though.
I agree with you. I think something either happened to delay production, or some other form of delay. They have stayed silent for so long, it no longer fills me with confidence. I actually feel like they may be in some form of mad scramble and disarray.
I also feel that this is Nintendo's last stand as a console maker. Excluding the NES classic, which I assume will be sell enough to get Snes classic, N64 classic, and at least Wii classic down the road. I also feel they could get low cost handheld classics as well.
I feel the longer the silence goes and Apple, Sony, and Microsoft all announce new systems or updates, it takes the spot light off of Nintendo more and more. I don't believe that Nintendo should announce NX on the backs of Sony and Apples announcements. But in an ideal world and if they truly are launching in March 2k17, IMO they should have demo units or by Xmas like N64 did back in the day. Star building hype and momentum.
I also feel the longer this goes, the more and more they will chase the mythical pot of gold at the end of the iOS and Android rainbow.
