As "safe" as September seems to some people, I've yet to see any counter to the argument posed here and in an individual thread, that investors are buying in, and in, and in, based on intel or the expectation of a reveal soon and a launch soon after. This remains quite compelling to me, and indeed, Nintendo's stock behaviour as of late is unusual. It is however precedented; as pointed out this behaviour was around prior to previous hardware reveals.
As it stands I still believe a reveal is sooner than later - much sooner than March, as March is my expectation for a presentation post-reveal.
Next week or early February are both possibilities; next week gives them time between Another Code and a possible early February Nintendo Direct, while the two games slated after it, DK and Peach, are not titles that appeal to the same demographic as a new console, broadly speaking, with the exception of hardcore fans, myself for instance, who will likely buy Peach regardless of the hardware situation. Early February means pleasing investors, if they want to do that, and publicly traded companies tend to like to do that. Reveal it, tell their investors stop worrying, and the "Twitter Direct" continues through February, so they can promote their Switch titles without taking eyes off their next system.
Do I think either of these are strictly more likely than March? I'm not sure about that at all, but I do think, based on what we know, they are real possibilities.
