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

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? 

Gamers at large arent going to be at E3 either

"E3 is a professional trade event and is not open to the general public. Individuals who are not able to document their direct and current professional affiliation to the interactive entertainment industry are not qualified to attend."

Taken directly from the E3 website.

I believe late August-early September would be a good time for the reveal, E3 hype will have died down and the ads for the big holiday products wont be in full force yet.
