NX won't be revealed at E3 2015, according to Nintendo

[JEMC]

Ok, I have a lot of things to say, so let's break it into sections.

My point was that it will release in holiday 2016. 

Launhing the same year they reveal the device would be a first for Nintendo.

Not that I disagree, just pointing it out that it is not their usual way of doing things (even if I think they are wrong).

Nintendo announced the Wii U in the same fashion as MSony did their respective systems. Only difference was it was during consequtive E3s vs a few months apart. 

Also, Nintendo doesn't really attend the other game conferences with large fan-fare. They never reveal big information at the other game conferences. Their focus is usually on repeat information from E3 or possibly a new video/demo of a known game.

Nintendo would never mention a system and then fail to show it off for more than a year. That is just stupid. No company would do that.

Nintendo did with WiiU the same they did with the Wii and GC (and possibly N64 too, althought I don't remember). One E3 to reveal its existance and the next one to fully reveal the machine, its games and the price and launch dates.

They didn't do it like MSoft and Sony with their XboxOne and PS4.

Nintendo only mentioned NX because WiiU is not selling so hot and they wanted to generate some buzz for their investors. Everything they are doing  is setting up a new product launch in the near future.

- mobile company cooperation
- new rewards program
- delaying large title like Zelda
- announcing NX
- secret game projects mentioned on linkedin
and older stuff from a couple years ago....
- merging hardware departments
- merging eShop
- enhancing overall network systems

Nintendo is setting up a new platform and has been focused on this for quite some time now. WiiU is stale and like GC it will be replaced sooner than later. 2012 to 2016 is 4 years and long enough for a low-volume system that cannot be reduced much in costs to manufacture.

Nintendo must kick off its next platform sooner than later to meet its obligations with DeNA. There is no way that company is going to announce partnerships with Nintendo and not have a path to bi-directional product launch in less than a year.

False.

They mentioned NX only because they were announcing a partnership with a mobile games company and feared that the media would read that as Nintendo leaving the console business, nothing else.

The rest of the things you list are normal business on Nintendo (Zelda delay? When has that happened before?), any videogame company (unnanouced games, reward programs like their own Club Nintendo rewards, Games with Gold/PSN+) or any business in general (mergin divisions and unify products). Those are movements to ensure that the company is efficient, wastes less money and resources, is agile enough to adapts to the new situations of the market rather fast and keeps their current customers happy and loyal.

Superchunk, please. Nintendo's obligations with DeNA are to develop and launch games for their mobile platform including known Nintendo characters, while DeNA helps them develop a unified account that works on a range of devices. And Nintendo has already announced that they will launch 5 mobile games by 2017, so they are going along with their deal.

NX is going to be revealed early 2016 with a final blow-out at E3 and launch in holiday 2016. All the evidence is there.

There's zero evidence of that, only "hopes" from a few and wishful thinking from others.
