First the source, 4Chan is not a reliable source. Then there's the mention that they got NX dev kits in October 2015. We already discussed that leak in the past and Tachi proved it wrong by talking with other japanese devs who didn't received those dev kits. Third is that Bucarest is only a studio, they aren't informed by Nintendo of When they will launch their consoles. Nintendo talks with Ubisoft and Ubisoft tells them when do they have to get their game done. And last, they are owned by Ubisoft and it's Ubi who tells them what to do and for what platform. They have no real choice. |
The rumor says that Ubisoft only recieved dev kits for the handheld. Maybe the Japanese developers got them too, but no dev kits for the home console.
That's why they only know "late 2016" and "2017" for them. Nobody would start developing a game if he doesn't know when the platform is launching probably.
Yeah, they don't have a choice, but they can say what they want to do and when Ubisoft agrees then they can start, if they deny then they have to develop something else.
I don't see a real problem in your points.
