Ifølge nogle rygter der har været på runde i løbet af de seneste par måneder, vil Nintendo udgive deres nye konsol, der for nu hedder NX, i 2016. Dog mener nogle analytikere hos virksomheden DFC, at denne strategi kunne være en stor fejl for det japanske firma.
Ifølge disse finansanalytikere (via MCV UK) er 2016 et ret så vigtigt år for hardware, fordi VR vil optage meget af forbrugernes opmærksomhed. Dette kunne, ifølge analytikerne, virkelige skade Nintendo NX:
"DFC believes that Nintendo launching a new system in 2016 would be a mistake and under any scenario the Nintendo NX will not have an impact on the market until late 2017.
Of course, our perception is likely to evolve as more details around price points and launch dates become available, but 2016 is looking to be a record year for the game industry. In reviewing 2015 the PlayStation 4 met our expectations while the Xbox One and Wii U slightly underperformed. Going forward DFC believes that the potential launch of a new Nintendo system as well as new VR devices, especially the PlayStation VR will have a negative impact on the Xbox One and Wii U.
Accordingly the market is open for the PlayStation 4 to have stronger sales and forecasts have been raised accordingly."
Hvad synes du om analysen? Bør Nintendo udgive ny hardware i år, eller bør de vente?
