A better answer is that they're holding off to January for the announcement for superior marketing performance. Big corporations aren't as disorganized as you imply they are. Nintendo definitely already knew about Scorpio and PS4 Pro, and neither are a factor for an announcement of their product. The decision to reveal in January would have been made around the time they decided to release it in 2017.
It's silly to announce a product in the holiday season announcement window, when people aren't going to care because the entire focus is on what's coming out for the holidays. It's better to announce in January.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
