Yeah I think Nintendo will have a NX conference in Feb/March so no need for a GDC booth.

They will wait until the fiscal year is just about over to minimize damage done to 3DS and Wii U sales for the fiscal year which are already in delicate shape.

       hahaha                        

Excuse me... But for god's sake... 

Thank you for amusing me!

So many gens of home and handheld consoles all justifiably disclosed at an E3... And Nintendo suddenly will hold  a random conference in spring to present NX, (till march is still FY15) ! Daydream/Wishful thinking?

That was before when gap between revealing and releasing was 18 months for Nintendo, and that doesn't work any more. They will probably do something like Sony and MS done with PS4/X1, reveal few months before E3 and then full blown up reveal with playable games at E3.

Yeah I use that as my main argument why I believe that if NX is mainly about replacing wii u (because for 3DS, might be another story) , it will be in 2017 holidays! This is the strict pattern in the case of home consoles, handheld consoles have done something a little bit different! Who says that it won't be again?  Anyway, the general trend, is releasing the consoles the year after E3 no matter the exact date! 3ds was shown at 2010 E3 and was released in February 2011..Just 8 months after the revelation...

Also... Both of you, suggest, a disclosure in a date, when it's still  in FY15...

My opinion about time of revealing is based on that NX will be released in 2016.

Yes, that was trend before, but I dont think that does not work very well in modern era and Nintendo knows that, they also saw how Sony and MS done great job of revealing and launching console in same year.
