So I think it's pretty safe to assume Nintendo will NOT be revealing NX live at TGS 2016

Because they have a console to announce, and they've never done that outside a live press conference at E3.

Nintendo doesn't attend the event. Anytime they've had an announcement around the time of TGS, they made it at their own event. 

Yes, but the set circumstances for the NX is set differently. 

Just like how them announcing NX in a Direct is a completely new thing for Nintendo, showing up with that bombshell at tgs would be similarly a completely new thing.
