They probably could have shown the NX last year, but then what? Wii U sales are so shitty they would've cratered and 3DS handheld shipments are Nintendo's lowest in like 15+ years ... so they can't afford for those to go any lower either.
There was literally zero benefit for Nintendo showing the NX last year, the only thing it would have accoplished is hurting what's left of the Wii U/3DS' likely last full holiday season.
Nintendo announced the N64 just two years into the SNES life cycle too ... lol ... things change, you can't keep operating the same way forever.
