Just a heads up because I think people are reading this wrong. It doesn't say that the NX will launch in 2016...it says the NX will launch by the end of the shopping season of 2016, which means the end of the FISCAL year, which is the first quarter (March) of 2017. It says right in it that the NX will launch 03/2017. This timeline seems like it is pretty in synch with what is looking to be happening at Nintendo. I look forward to the reveal, I wanna see this thing!

It doesn't say that NX is expected to launch in 2016?

According to analyst Junko Yamamura, Nintendo will make NX available by 2016 year-end’s shopping season. Nomura expects Nintendo to announce the “concept” sometime between March and Mayunveil the actual console in June, and launch it between October and November. “We think the NX will start to boost operating profits in 18/3, when it will have been on the market for a full year and will have a line-up of software titles, which carry high operating margins.”

"Launch it between October and November" is a straight-forward statement.

"17/3" is fiscal year/quarter and refers to October-December 2016.

OK, so to me then this article contradicts itself, because I read the whole thing, but the last thing that I read was 03/17 for the release. 2016 "Shopping Season" fiscally ends its 4th quarter 03/17, but I see you enboldened the October and November release window. I can't trust this article for the simple fact that it said basically by November of 2016, but then further along said that the thing wouldn't be released until March of 2017. So I have to dismiss this as not only rumor, but contradictive rumor. Nintendo is the only one that has the answers, hopefully they will give them to us this February.
