Kinda doubt they'd clarify that if it's getting announced before anyway.
We didn't have any rumors on an upcoming new hardware.
We did have, however, rumors of new iterations of existing hardware.
They don't announce revisions at E3, this doesn't change anything with regards to rumors
So before E3 it is.
Were there hints? No
Were Switch, New 3DS, New 2DS XL, 2DS, 3DS XL, Wii U etc... announced on E3? No
When did Nintendo announced new hardware at E3? Well was it Wii probably? Who knows, it's been so long.
Did I learn anything from all this? No. Next time there is a new hardware rumor I will assume it will be at E3.
Were there rumors that we will see new hardware at E3? No

Were we even expecting one?
Even if they have something to announce they usually keep it for their Directs these days.

or... dun dun dun, the rumors may end up being false
18 million is a very safe estimate for this FY, i wonder if they feel scared after last year.

I want an answer officially from them what their Switch hardware revision plans are so I can make a purchase plan. The financial paper reports can't be wrong about a Switch mini coming, right?
This is obvious... If the Switch was launching in June with Super Mario Maker 2, it would have to be announced in May, because Japan doesn't take preorders on devices that are announced less than a month before release.
If it's launching in Fall, it wouldn't be announced until August or September, for those same reasons... And you don't want to tell people not to buy the current model for 3+ months.

3 Weeks before Nintendo announced the 3DS XL, Miyamoto said that a revision wasn't happening because the original 3DS was perfectly designed.

Fools those who thought that was a real possibility: Nintendo hasn't announced hardware at E3 in decades.
Nintendo announced the Wii U at E3 2011, they learned the leason don't want to repeat that lol

Goes back even further, DS lite (or was it the i?). Some higher up at NoE denied the existance of it, Nintendo officially announced it a day or two after that. ^^
they're not ever gonna admit a revision exists until it's officially announced, that's just bad business cuz people will stop buying the current model.
No. It was leaked before then, but the first actual announcement (and unveil of the controller) was at E3 2011.
Likewise, the 3DS was also revealed at E3 2010 and the Wii (Then Revolution) was revealed at E3 2005.
They've never revealed any hardware revisions at E3 before though... with the sole exception of the Game Boy Micro at E3 2005.
