[QUOTE="bonesawisready5"] It has to come out this year and is listed for Holiday 2012. Personally I'm calling November 18th. Pikminmaniac
It doesn't "have" to come out Nintendo hasn't given a firm release date. If they did, they would have said it at the E3 conference.
No, the thing isn't ready. It doesn't have the development support they are gunning for and they have very few 1st party titles that are to the point of being shown off to the public.
I'm calling it right now, no next gen consoles in 2012. The developers and publishers want it but Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo aren't in the position to put a new console out yet.
Then why does Nintendo keep reassuring us it's releasing before the end of the year? I just don't understand why they aren't giving a specific release date... Maybe they're waiting to see when all their third parties will be ready and are gunning for the earliest release dat they can to catch stuff like assassin's creed III closer to when it releases for all conoles or something.
If they make a holiday release, the console will be too rushed. I think they really want that holiday 2012 sales to give it a good start, but it's not appealing to the same audiences and they are not selling it to PS3/360 owners. It's not in a good position right now.
