Ok, no matter how big of a Nintendo fan you are you have to admit this is idiotic business practice.
So you know of the Nintendo NX, right? Nintendo's newest system coming March 2017. But Nintendo is making ALL the wrong decisions here. Making the system come out on March 2017 is fine, so what could go wrong you could ask?
Well...
1. Nintendo isn't even talking about the Nintendo NX this E3. Instead it's going to focus on Zelda Wii U. Not only are they missing one of the biggest opportunities to show off the NX but are also only talking about ONE game on E3. E3 is a time where we talk about new games which were announced or new information about other games we already new about. Not just information on ONE game we already know about. Also, I understand that Nintendo has made single game directs before, but none have taken up the E3 spot. The Smash DLC one in 2015 came before E3 but it still didn't replace the rest of their plans.
2. They announced it on Twitter...TWITTER! Not a direct, not a trailer (and god knows not E3) but Twitter! Not many people even know the NX even exist.
3. Zelda Wii U is also a launch title for the NX. That's pretty cool, but not for sales. For those who already have a Wii U and want the new Zelda game might not even bother with the NX. The only reason they'd get it is either because they want a better visual experience or just to support Nintendo. They better have some great games under their belt besides just Zelda.
4. Nintendo's repeating the same mistakes as the Wii U. Little to no Marketing, barely talking about the thing, coming out only a few years before the next Playstation or Xbox systems are announced.
I'm sensing an even worse repeat of the Wii U or even...the SEGA Saturn. You can say "Ermahgerd you're just a hater Nintendo has enough money to survive for years!!1!" But Nintendo's been losing money for years, most people and game developers don't even take them seriously any more, Amiibos aren't even the best selling toy-to-play figures (which would be Disney Infinity) Nintendo lost millions of dollars on both 2013 & 2014, Little to no third party support, most hardcore fans leaving during he time of the Wii, Nintendo Creator Program, No longer in the list of the 100 most recognizable brands, ect. You can shout "Other companies made mistakes to! Sony tried to Trademark Let's Play" Yeah other companies make mistakes. But does that mean we should ignore a single companies faults because "Other companies make mistakes" No, a company losing money, no matter successful they are, is still a company losing money.
