Q: Why would Rockstar put out teaser today only listing XBO/PS4 and then NX later?
A: An image teaser can easily be updated where as the full trailer is a bit more complicated. What Rockstar has gained is a few days of only talking about RDR2 and then on Thursday there will be a renewed uproar about NX plus RDR2 and all of the other games that will get announced alongside the NX reveal.
Basically, by showing RDR2 now, they don't have to compete with media time with a new console and other games.
Q: Why would Rockstar post a teaser with an specific date/time for the trailer to be premiered?
A: To align with the conclusion of a NX Nintendo Direct.
A2: ??
