Do you seriously think that sales of a previous generation device determine the time frame between public unveiling and actual product launch?

Yes, yes, yes.

If sales didn't matter Iwata would never mentioned NX believing consumers will shift to mobile. Another example was the great Wii success, a console that has a lifespan of 6 years, unlike the Nintendo 64 or Nintendo Gamecube (5 years only).
