No. If anything it came out too late as an earlier launch might have stopped some Wii owners from picking up a PS360.
A perfect scenario for me would have seen Nintendo blowing a little of their Wii DS cash back in 2009 to buy/expand/create a studio to make new HD core IP to launch with the system. The system would have launched 6 months or a year earlier, possibly at $50 or even $100 more and with Wii Sports 3 instead of NintendoLand. NSMBU would have hit when it did. This would have guided people from the Wii to Wii2 much more seemlessly.
Since they didn't I'm fine with the launch timing, sooner is almost always better in this industry. They just should have made NSMBU a little more unique with features like a playble Princess Peach (a fan-favorite, especially since Nintendo has a lot of female fans) and a few other neat hooks, possibly a string of DLC "worlds" 9, 10, 11 and 12 with cool new themes, each released every second month or so. The virtual console should have been ready at lauch. Again, Nintendoland should have been WiiSports3. And the marketing should have been much, much better. And Pikmin should have been good to go for winter. But the launch wasn't really all that bad.
