I agree with you buy some degree, but also people need to know before holiday season what exactly is NX, what games will have and what date will be launched, in order to save some holiday season money or to start saving for it. NX is completely new console platform, and will have life span of around 5 years so definitely need few months more than mobile phone that are basically same platform and they have yearly editions. Of Course they will not have big and huge marketing in holiday season for NX, but point is just that people be aware that NX is coming, and later they can just have huge and big marketing from January until launch.
January revel date means they cant reveile it before 10. January because it still post holiday effect, and from around 10. January until some time in March (for instance 21. March) you have only around 2 months, and around 2 months is too short time between reavile and launch of completle new platform and for marketing for that new platform.
We are just one 1/3 of time in October, so you can't say there is no that much time left in October.

Why is 2 months too short for marketing? It is very rare for companies to kick off their marketing campaigns more than a few weeks before launch. Explain what Nintendo needs more than 2 months to do, and why they need it.
As for time left in October, add 1-2 weeks time onto the fact that they're going to need to announce their unveil presentation with enough notice for the press.

They can do good marketing for only 2 monts, but Its not only about marketing, but fact that 2 months is too short for some people to plan buying of console and save money for it, only 2 monts can definatly caught of guard lotsa people, especially those who recently buyed some other console. Like I wrote "people need to know before holiday season what exactly is NX, what games will have and what date will be launched, in order to save some holiday season money or to start saving for it and planing to buy one.
They can easily announce NX reveal just around one week before revile.
