I think Nintendo is afraid to reveal NX

A January announcement wouldn't be a wise idea either. People will already have their own Xbox One S, or PS4 Pro and won't be interested in another console in January.

An announcement last month or in the next couple weeks would be ideal, because it may cause people who are interested in a PS4 Pro wait until it launches in 5 months. Scorpio being 18 months away didn't stop MS from announcing the Slim. Slim is selling well too. If anything, it shows that MS is committed to the Xbox One ecosystem.

Wii U is already pretty much over. 3DS will see Pokemon and other games. Announcing NX wouldn't be nearly as bad as people think. Unless the hardware is weak and the games don't look good.

Irrelevant. How would unveiling it now make people getting a PS4 Pro or XBone S this Christmas more interested in the NX than if it is unveiled in January? It doesn't logically follow. If you mean if NX was announced now that they would cancel their Christmas plans, and hold off to get an NX instead, and that those people make up some significant portion of the population of the people who will potentially get NX, then that's an even larger jump in logic, particularly considering the NX is catering to mostly different market niches.

Not necessarily. I would have been happier with a NX preorder than a PS4 Pro. And there would be others who would probably feel the same. Having NX preorders available could be the gift that Nintendo fans have been waiting for. Instead, our options are a console they don't make games for anymore, and a ancient handheld from 5 years ago.
