Do you think Nintendo's holding off of officially revealing NX ultimately helpful or hurtful to Nintendo?

Years ago? What are you talking about? NX was first mentioned in March of last year. Even when they did mention it, they had very little choice. They had announced their their mobile initiative at the same time and had they mentioned mobile without mentioning their future console plans, that would have led to speculation that Nintendo was discontinuing Wii U and 3DS.

You're right, I misremembered--it was a year and change.  I still think that'a way too long for them to be silent about it though.

no, people just got way too worked up over a 2 letter codename. Nintendo had stated they were working on the new console before that and nobody cared, then they said the same thing at the mobile announcement but this time it had the codename "NX" and all shit broke loose.
