Hype is defined by getting people's hopes up. You never know if Nintendo's stepping up technology, or doing something new. Either way, it's a blind they are willing to bet. They will either force people to learn something new and force third party support to stride the other way, or they will convince people to try their new gig and hop on the bandwagon.

We can't predict the tides of people's interests.
