I hate that there not showing NX at e3 but by not showing it they actually get more press not less! Just look at this discussion and the forums on this site and others. If they reveal the NX all of these speculation talk about power,controller,games, and price are gone! And then the talk will be even with the big three if not more for Ms and Sony because there products are on store shelves this year. If Nintendo keeps quite for a few more months were going to keep talking about it more and more. Just think if ps4k/xbox1.5 get revealed at e3 will talk more if NX isn't revealed about the potential power it could have and how it will compare to the newer models.

But essentially who is talking about it right now? People who either know for a fact they aren't getting it, or people who know for a fact they are. They're not really hitting any new territory. Even the people who are supposedly undecided know for a fact what they are looking for, and if the NX doesn't meet their expectations they aren't going to be buying (and spoiler alert, it's not going to be what these people want).

Waiting until after E3 to announce also doesn't really help the situation, as the marketing campaigns for whatever Sony and Microsoft have planned for holiday 2016 are going to be taking over. I don't really understand how people think after E3 is going to be this safe zone. I mean, around the same time they announce a new $300-$400 system with the standard 1st party titles (with maybe a 3rd party or two in there somewhere with no dlc or special edition), Sony will be flooding the market with $250 holiday PS4 specials, PS4 Neo, and VR promotions. Even if we say the Neo isn't confirmed for this year, still a $250 console and VR are going to be one hell of a thing for most people to pass up for a new Nintendo system if they normally aren't Nintendo gamers.

Heck, I'm as big of a fan as a Nintendo fan can get, but do you think I can recommend a new Nintendo system? Lol, HELL NO! There haven't been any amazing announcements in over 2 years, the software droughts have been absolutely ridiculous, and Nintendo doesn't even care enough about the Wii U owners to give them the slightest bit of support for roughly two years until their next console is released.

You prove my point by continuing these conversations about NX. You must not be much of a Nintendo fan if you can't recommend NX as this is the most exciting time to be a fan. With the potential of a unified software front with all development going for a handheld console hybrid or at least easy to port. Any  Nintendo fan would be happy if Nintendo goes to cartridges that can be used in your handheld and also your home console.  They could have continued the typical yearly 3-4 games at the holiday time but what's the point without 3rd party support. So instead of wasting that on a dieing console move support to a new console get the first year sales going and get 3rd party support. E3 is big but most gamers still don't pay attention to it especially the casuals that play mainly cod/Madden.
