Second HALF OF 2016, not second quarter.

Ship them in July/August, devices release in Nov/Dec.

If they're shipping in July/August, that would mean at least 2016 Q3. That confirms NX isn't launching at 2016.

Once chip is received, they need to print the circuit board, put the chip in, complete the parts, test it, then send it to assembly to assemble with parts.

Then it needs to be packaged, while sending samples and getting licenses while planning for the distribution.

Even playing cards are completely printed at least 3 month before launch. I doubt console is going to be any faster.

They start mass production of the CPU/APU this year, the chip design with samples gets done way earlier.

And they first design the chip and only after that they design the other parts? Maybe they worked this way in the eighties...
