I know. Every day we'll have people asking if the announcement is coming today, or if NX is delayed, or something else.
It's eurogamers fault for saying September.
And how many people outside of the Sony faithful watched the Playstation meeting yesterday?
. Haven't been PS faithful for about a generation and a half now (I.e. since I faithfully bought a PS3 and was disappointed with it) but I do hover on the outside to see what's going on in mainstream console gaming.A conference may be more apt because they would have actual press present= more coverage and exposure. A Direct may have that effect as well, but an actual conference is more appropiate for the industry. That said, they could just do a Direct to control the message as well and have the press do hands-on to report.
The thing is either way they would need to actually INVITE the press, and I think we would have heard SOMETHING if it where happening in the next couple weeks. Has there ever been a press invite where it hasn´t leaked to the public at large regarding a high profile release such as this?
I did because I wanted to watch a conference from a company who doesn't have one foot out of the door on console gaming.
Sony are going mobile too...
Kimishima: All according to Keikaku.
It's not our fault to actually expect Nintendo to reveal their supposed flagship product.

Yeah, just abandon hope and wait. The announcement will come in due time.
I'll just play Monster hunter, Ace attorney and dragon quest until this.
Could be worse.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
I generally think any month except December would be a good month to do a full blowout. The holidays will take away a lot of attention. They'd be well advised to stay away from that month.

I think Nintendo will release it in March because they kind of have to to save their fiscal year. Short of the thing being a complete fucking dumpster fire, I think it's out in March regardless of how ready they are for it.
Nah, Super Mario Run will make enough to placate investors. The only risk is they pressure Nintendo to drop consoles altogether and run leaner, concentrating on low budget, high reward mobile games.

No way they do a conference, a nintendo direct is the best way to control the message.
1) they will announce it in a nintendo direct and a treehouse live
2) press will get to play it later, youtubers too

Right??? I am totally in this base. So much missed opportunity.
So what you're saying is that GAF has invented time dilation technology?
The Sony faithful is the bulk of the market at this point, to be honest. They've already taken Xbox and Nintendo's customers. Nintendo needs to lure people away from their competitors or make a new market.
I don't disagree.

Last night it looked like they were trying to give them back.

after the Wii U I would take a delayed NX over them getting the launch off on the wrong note
Sony seems to be burning a lot of goodwill with the PSPro so I am less worried about what the NX is at this point because everything seems weird right now

This is the way and the truth. The more I check this thread, the more I expect an imminent reveal. Leaving it be for a few days restores sanity.
The presentation was dull as dishwater, and there I've seen more charisma in a cheese sandwich than in everyone at that presentation put together. The whole thing was bad, and made the whole brand look worse for it.
Yes, but I am hardly representative of the general public.

I'm not necessarily saying that you're wrong, but what are you basing this on? I haven't studied the reactions to Pro and am pretty ambivalent myself, but I always kind of figured since the rumors started that this was a pretty low-risk move. Yeah, it may not catch on, but the Slim is still there for them. I don't really feel like it needs a ton of consumer enthusiasm to justify its existence given that it's not pitched as a necessary upgrade.

The reveal announcement will be in a new thread of its own.
Thinking it will appear in this thread, when the thread is active at the top, is fool's gold.

Oh, yeah, I agree with everything you wrote here. For some reason I don't think price will be till later simply because it gives them another opportunity to hype at an event again before launch but really they could do either and find another way to keep hype up. I guess regarding the conference thing, you're right that it's a new system so boredom is hopefully off the table but my concern is more in regards to the possibilities of screwing up a live event for the public vs. a direct or digital event. With the latter they control the situation entirely, at least in terms of getting their message across in the way they want to, with the former though they could have another Skyward situation or just risk people getting annoyed with the potentially slower dips during the ebbs and flows live events seem more prone to.
Yep. It'll be there for the hardcore PS consumer, the 4K TV consumer, etc. while not really doing anything to burn normal PS consumers. Sure, the conference was lackluster, but it is not like they're trying to sell the PS4 again or the PS5. I don't see how this hurts Sony, but it'll probably help them around the edges with some niche audiences.
...
Now if people were absolutely crazy about it, that could drown out NX. It's just that people not being absolutely crazy about it doesn't afford NX a special opportunity.
Hopefully Antonio Banderas, or something even better meme wise. It was insane how far that meme spread for the PS4 reveal.

Lol. It's our fault that we wake up every morning thinking today will be the day.
Maybe one day it will be the day... ;_;
We only have this thread to talk about rumors that are not good enough for a dedicated thread
The worst sort of policing posts.
