Analyst firm believes NX launch in 2016 would be a 'mistake under any scenario'

GN Version 5.0

Coming from Analyst DFC...

"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.”
