Want to bet the Nintendo NX will be official revealed around E3 2016? And going by there past home consoles, it will release in November 2017. What are you going by when you say it will release in 2016? Wishful thinking?

All that you wrote are pure facts, but fact is also that some thing like that doesn't work anymore, PS4/Xbox One are revealed in same year and launched in same year were successfully, Nintendo saw that. Also whole year NIntendo heavily hinted and talked about NX, also Wii U is in very bad situation, they can't wait for another 2 whole years for successor, and if Nintendo would just reveal NX next year and said that will come in 2017. 3DS/WiiU sales would be almost death till NX arrives.

Like I said, revel year and half before launch dont work any more especially when you need sucesor very fast,I think Nintendo will do something similar like Sony done with PS4, probably official reveal around March, at E3 full NX blown up with NX games and other NX things and in November launch.

And launch it quietly so nobody cares for it? Great Idea!

They have to promote the NX whatever it is. After the Wii U they can't make a failure launch again. A 2016 reveal and release doesn't work for Nintendo. You compare it with Sony but Sony is Sony. PlayStation consoles sell well anyway. Nintendo consoles don't. Look at Microsoft: Reveal and Release in 2013 didn't work. People didn't know what Kinect is for, people still thought it has always-on and used games lock. In the end the Xbox One launch flopped. Nintendo is Nintendo. They can't throw out a console in 2016 and hope people will understand it without promoting it a lot. It will flop. But hey, you really semm to want Nintendo not being successful. I want Nintendo to be successful that's why I think they are smart and release it in 2017.
