The difference between Nintendo and Apple is this situation is that there isn't much risk to Apple to show off their new iPhone only weeks before release is because a new phone model isn't all that different from the previous version, there probably won't be any massive changes.
But the NX seems like a totally new thing, it seems rather risky to have the preview and release dates so close to each other. You might not be wrong here but personally I think it would be a bad idea.
