Nov-Dec 2016 release for Console-NX is early based on average lifetime of Nintendo consoles.  That would be panic mode dreamcast type scenario stuff.  Going on average of Wii era realease it would be  around August 2017.  Going on trends of longer console release dates NX (Wii3) would release November 2018 (72 months) or later.  I'll predict probably somewhere in 2017 if Nintendo wants a solid release, earlier depending on panic anxiety and/or strategy.

Based on rumor the Handheld-NX is releasing first.  That might be part of the strategy.  My calculation's don't predict handheld release windows.  It could be based on a unified platform that the NX is rumored to be, that they do the handheld first, build up the software, and then later release a console closer in line with my predictions.  Either way, it is absolutely going to be an uphill battle. 

Nintendo does not fall in line with the other two major console producers and thus has their own schedule. Absolutely miss or hit on whether it does Nintendo any good to do so.

For me, regardless, Nintendo 1st party doesn't make games I play and hardly ever attracts 3rd party games I do play so I am only interested in their release dates and have no real opinion on whether those releases will be a success or not, except when they deviate from their normal release schedules.
