IHS consultancy analyst Piers Harding-Rolls believes that even if we don’t get a global rollout for the Nintendo NX we will at least get a regional rollout this year. Of course, we have yet to find out precisely what the Nintendo NX is, but we are expected to get a portable NX system this year according to reports in the media. Piers Harding-Rolls is also confident that the platform will be unveiled at E3 this year, which makes sense.
“I think we’ll definitely hear more about the NX at the E3 games expo.
“It’s also possible that we could see a regional launch of the new product into the market this year, even if a global rollout has to wait.”

What the hell is a regional release?
Means it launches in Japan this year and not anywhere else till next year.
Oh. Booo! I want to fucking buy as well. This so fucking unfair.
agreed
Duh. First time I hear of a regional release tho, I wonder how common it is in the gaming industry. It’s relatively common in the smartphone market.
It use to be a common thing. There used to be months in between the system releases in Japan, America, and Europe.
Oh I know that. I meant global release verses the major three markets.
They better not make the NX region locked or there will be hellfire and brimstone!
I forgot all about region locking lol but yeah hopefully the nx is region free
Human sacrifice, dog and cats living together, mass hysteria!
~*Yes. No region lock means I don’t have to deal with any retarded censoring from Nintendo’s America Sect. If a game gets censored, I can just import the game from the UK instead. I would hope the eShop would be like Miiverse where I can switch from the American eShop to the UK eShop to the Japan eShop and so on in case it’s a game I want to own digitally. But I won’t hold my breathe for that since Nintendo’s America Sect will try to do something to keep some kind of tyrannical control over the US customer base.*~
Prepare yourself.
I hope not either.
It’s a bit depressing thinking that the NX handheld might be what’s coming this year (instead of the major console). But I still plan to buy it. Whatever the heck it is. Though I hope I don’t regret buying it at launch, like I regretted buying the 3DS at launch.
Good things come to those who wait…
Finally. An analyst who’s making predictions that don’t sound biased and completely stupid *cough cough* Michael Pachter *cough cough*
if so that means region locked
Meh.
~*If so, fuck Nintendo of America. I’ll import from the UK because they won’t get a penny from me anymore.*~
NintenD’OH! *facepalm* of ‘Murica!* Fixed.
yeah i see what is going on with nintendo they are planning to take there time on the NX and find out a proper release date for s portable system.
If the NX releases in Japan first and not here, there’s gonna be a lot of hate mail coming their way!
I would actually expect it in America first. The WiiU is doing OK in Japan. The Ps4 is actually not doing that great in Japan and of course the Xbox One is non existent in Japan. Plus the Christmas season is a much bigger deal here in America.
