But this just serves to reinforce the idea that NX will likely be comming at 2017 the earliest.If they really are just giving development kits now, companies will just have 1 year to get the hang of it, and develop and/or port games to it.Its just too little time, and i dont think Nintendo is going to simply ditch third party.

I was under the impression that PS4 dev kits only came out months before launch. This shouldn't be an issue at all.

Uh, no.  Dev kits were out more than a year before it launched.  In late 2012 we started hearing rumors about the specs of these machines.  Back when the PS4 was known as the Orbis and the XBO was known as the 720 or Durango.
