"Keep in mind that the upper widescreen display would still make it apparent even for the average consumer that the system would be more than yet another DS model, so there would be no need for concern."
Gotta disagree. People were confused with widescreen+3D. One would think they would think it were just a new DS model with just widescreen.
"Software delays should have been avoided at all costs."
They're not gonna release a broken game. They say "for polish" but we don't really know what that means. Important segments of the game may have not been up to snuff and can't simply be cut out. The game could be playable but have major flaws that may or may not happen for some people. No company wants to release another PS3 Skyrim. SONY themselves will delay a game "for polish". Killzone 2/3 and Gran Turismo 5 have both had that excuse thrown out at some point.
