I think launching a console on Black Friday week is stupid anyway, because you have Black Friday shoppers + early adopters (line-up people) trying to buy the same console at once.
You launch early in November, then you get one wave of shoppers (early adopters), then you can have restock of inventory in time for Black Friday (which is Nov. 30th this year).
Then you get a second wave a big sales on Black Friday.
So that would be an ideal scenario for Nintendo, launch in early November, let games like Black Ops 2, AC3, Rayman, and Zombi U soak up sales, then for Black Friday week you bring out NSMB U.
Honestly they could hold off Mario until December really if they wanted to, but I think Black Friday week is probably the smartest window to launch it.
