I'm not sure that this is better than a conference. Critics will come one way or another and a small annoucement risks not getting exposure and reaching the public.
Anyway, an announcement is only damaging when you announce stuff that piss people off (like X1 E3 announcement). Nintendo did not said anything that would make people mad, just showed neat features and a promissing idea. What they need to do now is heavy marketing. Really heavy, using a lot of cash. We have 1 new X1 model, 2 new PS4s and PSVR, so they have to fight for the money. I'm more inclined to put my cash at least on Switch than on another PS4 (more of the same, really), VR (may be fad) or a X1S (way too much games in common with PS4).
