Except the fact that Nintendo usually take 2 E3 to release most systems. It is rare for them to take one and it is usually a handheld system. As far back as the N64 they usually release information about the system the first E3 and then the next year have a "release party" for it at the next E3, so it usually 18 months when they usually share the information to when they finally release the system. And the only time they have broke this cycle it was for a handheld system.

In addition if the NX is going to anything along the lines of a fusion concept system(s) the release cycle may be longer so they can make sure their are no problems with it. (Plus since they no "familar" with the longer HD development cycle this may impact the release cycle also.)

The key phrase here is "usually"; there is nothing usual about the Wii U's market situation ever since it released so we can pretty much throw convention out the window as a measure of which norms and trends will dictate the transition and release of new hardware this time around.
