Microsoft are releasing their console in 5 months.
If Microsoft can show a console and launch it in 5 months then so can Nintendo.

Microsoft launched their console before the show in order to avoid being overshadowed by Sony.
And Nintendo will show theirs after.
It'll be okay Gerrid.
Just enjoy what has been shown.

Yeah we'll see if it works, but, honestly, the PS3 isn't as big as you're making out. It was pretty much as expected. Look around forums, I don't think you'll find anyone who's all "OMG I was so amazed by the PS3!!!!", they'll be more like "Killzone looked amazing it's great". Nintendo could have stolen their thunder if they'd had something to show. It's only the PS3's show because no one else is putting up much of a fight.
Not against the PS3.
No matter how clever it was.
It would not stand up against the PS3.
Why not wait a month or so and show it then?
Where it'll get the attention all to itself?

Why didn't it stand a chance? If Nintendo are touting it as such a revolutionary change then it DEFINITELY would have got people's attention. The PS3 isn't particularly interesting - it's EXACTLY what was expected. No one is exactly saying "Wow the PS3 is so much better than I thought it was gonna be wow I'm so blown away". People are impressed by the graphics but it's exactly what they were expecting. Nintendo had the chance to overshadow the others by showing their new bold directional change for gaming, but instead they decided not to, and I think it was a mistake.

Lol yeah, like it stood a chance against Sony.
Could they not show it at another date?

leaving the Revolution underpublicised with almost no concrete information concerning games.

This is all we got about the Revolution at this year's E3:

and I say balls to that. How can you be satisfied with that. The problem with Nintendo's presentation is that it didn't give anyone anything to care about. PS3, Xb360, that'll grab people's attention. It'll be the classic "we don't know anything about Revolution so let's ignore it" line from everyone.
If Nintendo start on the back foot then they're gonna find it much more difficult to catch up with the competition, even if they don't think they're competing at all.
