History repeats

So the 3DS may launch earlier that expected. Which means we can anticipate that the usual enthusiast press Nintendo reporting cycle will arrive earlier that expected too.

You know the drill right?

1. Mild hype mixed with cautious “seems like a gimmick” backhanded compliments.
2. Official reveal crticisim about specs and graphical chops (will happen at E3)
3. Long period of doubt and smack talk as cutting edge hardware receives poor third party support
4. Complete and utter flip flop when Microsoft and Sony reveal copycat devices with larger processors.

Prove me wrong, you hardcore asshats. Please, prove me wrong.

    Truly they have become the new Republicans.

    How about them shutting their yaps for more than a week? I doubt it. I doubt that they can live without Sideshow Pii Wii’s response for more than 24 hours.

  2. HQ is still in Redmond but Sales and Marketing are now in Redwood City south of Frisco and the Online team is in New York.

    Can’t wait to sit in the Kodak theater and listen to the reactions in the crowd. I plan to run a story just on that alone.

  4. Bah, you are correct, sir!

    Related for everyone else: This is why there was that non-issue “purge” of Ninty execs last year (they didn’t want to move, simpe as that).
