I think people are just way more keen on getting a console at launch then they used to
-especially since this last generation went for so long
and
-the record-long 9 month pre-order window for the PS4 and X1. Next-gen has pretty much been on sale for well over a year already. MS and Sony are just playing games with the supply so they don't appear to have a hardware bust similar to what WiiU had in spring/summer of 2013.
I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
