There's lot of reasons why they should announce it sooner but since they were talking to shareholders they should absolutely temper expectations with shareholders because when something big doesn't pan out it could cause an even bigger drop in shareholder confidence.They're talking to their shareholders here in the meeting, not to the consumers in those reports. People should already know that the entire lineup of Nintendo consoles isn't entire revealed until september, every year it's the same thing.
I know that we as hardcore for some reason need to know everything all the time but there's no reason for most people that buys video game to be like that. Just the release of it in the market when they know that it's coming and there's that. There's no such worry.
