And then what? Hold their breath and hope people care? The live conference is losing relavence sure, but do you think that time frame is loosing relavence to gamers? All the people who are dropping out of an actual conference are still holding events. I agree the on stage stuff is pointless, the digital events have proven that. But it is still the time all gamers tend to lend the gaming world their ears. 

What do you mean and then what? They reveal the console when E3 hype has calmed down and where they can be the center of attention.

Revealing it during E3 means they potentially risk getting lost in the shuffle of PS4 Neo, Xbox 1.5/Slim, PSVR/other headsets & all the big holiday titles that cant be played on NX.

With Nintendo's current situation they cant risk having the new console reveal getting outshined by all the other announcements happening.

But to whom will they reveal it to? Gamers at large aren't going to be at a Nintendo only event, so then you limit yourself to who will tune in. Yes there will be every single gaming media convering it, but people will still be riding the high of this years E3 and whatever this years "Final Fantasy VII Remake" may be. Also, the ramping up hype for consoles, and games, and devices releasing at the end of the year will be in full force. Expect June, July, and August for the hype of E3 to carry throughout. Then Sept Oct and Nov will be huge advertisements for VR, PS4 Neo, ect. So when is that magical time to announce?
