I don't agree with the slanting of the points made in the OP. The LoZ tech demo, for instance, is as good as an announcement of LoZ for Wii U, and that's what everyoine at the time was seeing it as "OMG LoZ on Wii U, instant win". If Nintendo hadn't wanted to effectively announce LoZ for Wii U their tech demo should have been of generic characters tpo show off the awesome power of WIi U. But also it's hardly a legit tech demo because LoZ U isn't going to look remotely like the tech demo, so it was giving false impressions. Therefore the tech demo was false advertising as well as misleading people into thinking a LoZ game for Wii U was less than 2 years away.
It's also not just the we don't announce games 4 years in advance thing that made Reggie look like a pouty bad sport. It was his series of statements after e3 that gave a lot of people a poor(er) impression of him being the voice of NoA.
Then on the one hand the OP says he's not taking a dig at the competition, and in later posts padib says he's pointing at the likes of TLG, FFVII and FFXV. That's having a dig at the same time as offering an excuse for the lack of exciting announcements. He should just get his house in order. The lack of exciting announcements is an indictment on Nintendo's development programme. They either wrongly thought that the games they were announcing would get everyone excited (which is a problem in itself) or they are very behind on games that they are trying to get far enough along to be able to announce. I expect they will bring some good news to TGS.

I still don't see how Reggie mentioning that Nintendo does things differently, and me pointing out the examples to support his claim, make his claim a dig in any way. He never said it was a bad thing. He was simply trying to explain why Prime wasn't at the show (as per the quote) and it's a fair way to explain it.
As for Zelda, it was a demo that they had made in house, an asset that they used to demo the U. It would be a waste to throw it away just to avoid "confusing the audience". Meanwhile, they made it clear at e3 2012 that it was not the Zelda to be expected.
As for the other statements, I haven't heard them. But still I think this quote in particular should be judged in isolation before being judged in the full set of post e3 quotes. I would like links though.

Prime was not at e3 because they have not begun development on it nor hsave approved development of it- according to the Prime director- and when/if it is released it will be on the NX = again according to the Prime director
they did not show games for the wii u too far in the future because there are not any (at least any of interest) because they will be releasing on the NX not the wii u-
