I already mentioned my criteria. I'll spell it out again.I find it hilarious you're making an assumption about me making an assumption about you because I want to know your criteria. Not to mention I think my Iphone example might count in which people flock to the newest ones because they're new. My sister's also guilty of this
Find me an example of something that was announced last and did better than it's competitiors. But then, be able to explain to me WHY being released later caused it to do better than the competition. And then show me tangible evidence of how Nintendo is in that same position for that to happen.
For the record, I can think of an example myself, though I do not believe Nintendo is in the same position as that example.
iPhones are not competitors to each other so no, that does not count. People buying the latest iPhone is upgrading a product they have, not making a choice between competing products.
I never said the NX was doomed to fail.You're judging the NX by the Wii U's fate. This is exactly the same thing a lot of people did the instant it was revealed, and in both cases the decision was preemptively made that the NX is set up for failure.
I said you are pre-emptive to try and tell me it wouldn't, and that there is no reason for me to think that "Nintendo will be much better when the NX is revealed" (my original point was not about the NX, I'm dissatisfied with Nintendo in general right now).
Logically, there is no reason for me to believe Nintendo will do better. Their latest console flopped. Most of their games of late have been soulless and dry, even in franchises I care about (so it's not a case of me just being like "I DON'T CARE ABOUT POKÉMON" for example). This is continuing with every new announcement so far, almost.
Not to mention their practices towards fan-made content.
Out of the things Nintendo has been doing of late, 10% of it has satisfied me, the rest has not, if not flat out made me mad at them (the fan-content take downs). Most of the things that dissatisfy me, have been having the same effect on a large amount of people too, so it's not just me, meaning it's a general impression people have right now.
Why should I be expected to be optimistic during a time like this?
I was back at E3 but it's gotten worse since then and my patience is gone. Nintendo has to REALLY blow me away with the NX or else my sheer fatigue with Nintendo at this point will cause me to literally feel nothing at the NX reveal.
