No matter what level of hype NX generates, it will always be benefitial for Nintendo to have a smaller time frame between reveal and release. After Wii U proved naysayers that Wii was an exception to a home console business in decline, they really need all the hype they can get.
In terms of marketing and ads, to be more specific, Nintendo has the usual time as they always knew the actual release and acted accordingly.
The only thing that could hurt them would be having a press conference as appealing as 2012's.
Not that more time would automatically convert people to NX but at least it would give them enough time to calm people down.
