Historically this is how they've announced consoles.
But I wonder if a more effective way to release and garner interest may be:
Reveal: Spring 2016 (special direct)
Info Dump: E3 2016
Release: Nov 2016
Similar to how the PS4 and Xbox One were announced and released over the course of one year, I think between Wii U being announced and released the length of time was so great that people lost interest (alongside the other issues). If Nintendo bring the 18 month announce-release gap down to 8 or 9 months they can generate greater consumer interest.
