Isn't it funny how console and PC differ? If you're a PC part manufacturer you are yelled at if you "paper launch" by showing the product and specs but release to market months later. If you're a console builder people almost want the info on the next console when the previous one isn't even in the shop yet. 

Guys, the succes or failure doesn't depend on the moment of announcement or reveal. They could show it as late as 1 month in advance and it would make no difference to if it fails or not.

People in the market for a console will not opt to NOT buy a PS4/XBOne because info about the NX is available or not. It's the holidays. They'll buy the crap they want at THAT moment. Nobody will go, here is an IOU till March. The launch date is too far back from the holidays for that. 

The concept and announcement and list of titles will make you buy it or not. Not some arbitrary date at which you should have revealed anything.

 

Edit: fixed language.
