Has a console ever been this teased and talked about, with no actual information other than a release window?

Literally none of that is interesting.
That's the kind of stuff you'd expect any platform holder to say before announcement.

Not since Revolution, but I'm not sure we had a release window for that.

I think the quote above indicates that we only will hear more about it when the hype for Pokemon's launch is going strong, since then they believe it won't hurt the 3ds much.
Does it though? If you answer questions with questions you ultimately have an infinite amount of answers. Nintenception.

Not really. Quote 1 is PR fluff and Quote 2 is something Iwata has said pretty much every single generation in one form or another.
This pls.
Be careful what you wish for. The last hardware device that had any connection to life - died.

You need to have two standing pillars before you can claim you have a third. By the looks of it Nintendo has one standing but it's rusty, old, and looks it could crumble any minute and the ruins of the would-be second one with nothing but rubble on the floor.
Not if the 1st party games were good. I'm done with extra plastic accessories and fisher price controllers. If they keep reinventing the wheel every damn time they aren't going to be able to bring their historical titles forward for new audiences to experience which thins out their library offering.

The Xbox brand is on PC! But I agree, they'd definitely need a strong first party lineup.
okay but reinventing the wheel with the ds and wii is what allowed them to bring their historical titles forward for new audiences.
Yeah but those historical titles didn't require additional accessories or input methods. Thats my problem with it and only recently has it really dawned on me that the blue ocean strategy is great for short term benefit but horrible in the long term.
Its probably because I'm getting older and my optimism and enthusiam for Nintendo is starting to hit all time lows but when I think of games from the Wii/ds and Wii U/3ds and 10 years from now, how can new gamers experience and continued gamers re-experience them without the correct control methods? Nintendo going to support 5 different control methods and technologies with each new generation. I just don't see it sustainable anymore.

Will be interesting if NX is a third pillar of sorts, and then announces a separate home Console and Handheld aside from that.

I don't need to be a Japanese culture expert to know that this is a whole load of nothing.

I mean I'm not gonna blame Kimishima for trying to keep interest in the NX right as E3 is around the corner (considering they're really not attending E3 in any significant capacity), but at the same time I'm kinda done listening to all the elbow nudging and the winking with no real info.

Indeed, I think the launch software lineup was going to be ready by November, they had jack shit for the first half of 2017 tho.
An interesting piece of info from GoNintendo:
http://gonintendo.com/stories/257701-nintendo-president-details-movie-plans-goals-for-mobile-miitomo
So, it looks like the reason why NX won't have an impact on 3DS sales is because of Pokémon, specifically during this year, and after the it will have an impact on 3DS sales.
To me it seems like they actually except NX to impact both 3DS and Wii U sales next year, thus being a "successor" to both of them.

don't let me add this quote to the list, kimishima.
zelda at launch, smash for nx 3 months later, pikmin 4 3 months after that, galaxy 3 3 months after that.
there's your launch window

Didn't they say that about the DS not replacing the Gameboy and then it totally replaced the Gameboy?

Reading is hard
You're forgetting Splatoon, Mario Maker and whatever Retro's working on.

NX won't have an effect on the Wii U because the Wii U's done a pretty good job of that by itself.
I am so sick of all this BS talk about NX. They've done nothing but flaunt ambiguous teases about what this thing is since the day they announced it was in development. A whole bunch of vague non committal crap that adds up to zilch. Either reveal the thing already or just shut the hell up about it.
TLDR: NX talk what is it good for? Absolutely nothing! Say it again!

Nx is the new controller for the existing Wii U and it's a Hardware upgrade.

He stressed that out so much by now that I really feel they want to burry at least WiiU together with certain Atari 2600 cartridges...
Yeah, release a VR kit 6 months after PSVR. What could possibly go wrong?!

I feel like Retro is early 2018. Maybe holiday 2017, but 3D Mario will certainly be there.
Splatoon and Mario Maker... those will probably be summer 2017 games to fill in some gaps. Gonna be interesting to see how they spread those releases out, or even if they just drop them all at once.

It's all semantics at this point, but I believe the NX is just one of those things we need to see in order to fully understand.

Bury the Wiiu and wii brand names, along with those silly controller shells in a deep dark pit... erase all history from the pages of the sacred Wiki...Wiiu never happened and for NX reasons moving forward I couldn't agree more.
The more they talk about what it is without telling us what it is, the more concern I am. I have the feeling that they don't trust the hardware or idea enough to tell us about it.
Just tell us what it is, stop it with the secrecy. 6 months more of this "it's going to be different" until you tell us anything?
As someone said, it's becoming tyring and the hype is fading away.

Don't think I've ever been more intrigued by a console reveal than with the NX

I hope to God the NX is not a streaming service or something of the sort. :/
I don't think it's fair to always bring up the DS during the third pillar talk.
The DS was actually meant as third pillar, it's the market that decided to make it Nintendo's second pillar.
With that said, the NX is a successor to both, but not in one. Rather with two different devices.
