I already predicted January unveil in the other thread. No reason to unveil it before Christmas, that would be a bad idea. |
To be honest this wouldn't surprise me at this stage.
Early January unveil, the only thing I think Nintendo is scared of is there will be another large leak like the Eurogamer one.
Nintendo's marketing sucks either way, whether they have a lot of time or little time. They just need to make sure the system is at least some what interesting and useful from a practical side and that it has the best possible games in its first 8 months that they can throw at it.
The only Nintendo system of the last 20 years I can say had a great marketing campaign was the Wii and maybe the N64, and the Wii didn't really need it because of the casual word of mouth. GameCube, DS, GBA, 3DS, Wii U all had mediocre TV marketing from day 1.

Bad idea would be to unveil it at holiday season, before holiday season (September-October) makes total sense, people can make plans for purchase and Nintendo can have stedy marketing and maintain hype until March. Waiting until January would be bad idea, whole industry would think that NX is delayed or even canceled, and basicly all people would gave up from NX at that point. Beside, Nintendo said we getting NX information in 2016. and at last investertor meeting they said at"later date".
