That's a horrible strategy. There are no advantages involved when being silent; people aren't going to be more likely to buy a game or console because the games were recently announced. However, the disadvantages are clear; you discourage potential consumers from buying the Wii U because they don't see any games to look forward to.

By announcing games now, you encourage current customers to buy the console and you'll still have big games in the future. In fact, by announcing games now, the games would probably be bigger because more people would have bought a Wii U in anticipation for the games.
