Nintendo sticks to launch windows?
Which launch windows are you refering too?
I recall Reggie announcing 7 launch games for the Wii and only three games came launch year. Brawl got delayed again and again and other notable titles like WarioWare and MarioGalaxy also saw delays and were not launched in their respective launch windows. Then lets talk about LOZ:TP it was supposed to come in fall 2005 and it never saw launch till Wii.
Nintendo rarely ever sticks to launch windows with the exception of hardware. When they announce hardware will ship on such and such a date they tend to release hardware during those windows. Reggie today infact clearly said that Nintendo is not committed to launching Zelda Wii during the 2010 fiscal year. Thats right NOA's president says not to expect Zelda in 2010, he then quoted Miyamoto as saying it was on track for 2010 but Nintendo wasn't about to commit to it launching that fiscal year.
Sorry OP but I take Reggies word over the word of somebody at Nintendo of Europe. Keep in mind that NOE actually publically said Mother3 was going to be coming out on GBA in Europe. Did it ever come to Europe? No it didn't and how about NOE's Excite Truck 2 announcement, turns out the whole thing was fabricated and no game was ever seen!
The only people we can trust for dates are Iwata and Miyamoto and sometimes Reggie. And so far none of the three will commit to a 2010 launch!
