ain’t no way this system gets reveal before 2025. Nintendo would not want to jeopardize their most profitable time of year. (Remember: Nintendo is a company. They need to maximize profits as best they can.)

So why don't they just say so?

Surprise is a powerful marketing tool. By not explicitly dismissing the possibility a 2024 reveal, ppl will continue endlessly speculating on something that obviously won’t happen. Nintendo is infamous for saying something that completely contradicts what they aftly end up doing for this exact reason: “Ridley’s too big for Smash!” (first character revealed for SSBU (They did what they once claimed impossible!)), “2D Zelda cannot coexist with 3D Zelda” (EoW releases one year later (I thought 2D Zelda could not coexist??)), etc.
