Never for a home console!For handheld console only ds(In NA and Japan)!
From a thread of mine!
The dolphin(codename of the gc) was teased in 1999(third year of n64),was revealed at E3 2000,presented at E3 2001 and released in november 2001,Revolution(codename of the wii) was teased in 2004(third year of gc) was announced at E3 2005,showed at E3 2006 and released in november 2006,Nx was teased this year (2015,third year of wii u)Announcement at E3 2016?Probably as ninty said that we will just get details for it in 2016,release november 2017?
Also,Project cafe (codename of the wii u)may not followed exactly this trend,obviously because wii was selling tons of units but partially it did it since it was announced in E3 2011 and released in november 2012,i.e an announcement in E3 and a release one year and half after of it,So that't a proof too!The only difference is that it wasn't teased in its predecessor third year but in the 5th of it(It's apparent why,wii was a beast) and in the year of its announcement at E3...
