Aside from the reveal trailer showing us the basic concept (and several games), we haven't gotten any real info, and won't until about two months before launch. Sony and MS didn't wait until E3 2013 to drop short reveal trailers and then not give us anything else until September that year. The Wii U was first revealed in 2011. We usually know a fair amount about a system, including much if not most of its launch lineup, 6 or more months after launch. Nintendo waiting until almost the last possible minute—the TV ad campaign is likely to start in January after their big event, giving them two months to hype the system—is as far as I know entirely without precedent. |
Well to be fair MS revealing XB1 6 months before launch was never seen before also, same goes with Sony and PS4, 9 months before launch, before that we had reveal of console 1-2 year before launch, but fact is that modern era you dont need so much time any more. Nintendo with Switch just go further away what MS done with XB1. Nintendo didnt want to talk about new console right before or in middle of holiday season when they have current products to sell (like new Pokemon and 3DS).
