Delaying a Console for the sake of marketing is a dick move.
The event of e3 doesn't have the power it once had, meaning that if they hold out til the middle of the summer is a risky proposition alltogether. Honestly, the method of "don't show,don't tell" that Nintendo is doing is a refresher and slowly transition to steady but not overwhelming marketing. Excessive marketing didn't save the WiiU, so it isn't going to be any different for the Switch.
The 3DS lifespan will still continue because they already did a Direct that includes Yoshi Yarn, Mario Maker, Dragon Quest and a Pikmin title. Also those Sun/Moon 2DS bundle will boost sales, so why waste the huge boost in consumers?
