You said well: delayed games. Zelda, 2015 delayed games. SF, 2015 delayed game. SMTxFE, late localization of a 2013 announced game. Pokken, Arcade port. TPHD, remaster. Don't fool yourself calling this "support".

And there's zero bussiness sense to wait until 2017 if you are taking in count PS4 in the equation, as 2017 will be a worse year than 2016 with a higher installbase.

The PS4 install base will only ever increase and ultimately has nothing to do with the success of Nintendo's next platform. Its not the size of the installbase thats important but about the markets apetite for new hardware. Someone who has only had a PS4 for a year is less likely to invest in a new game console, versus someone who has had a PS4 for several years. The later Nintendo releases, the more people there are that fit into the latter category and the more chance of people considering their hardware; Regardless of whats on offer.

The only thing that signals an earlier release date as better is them wanting to get thier revenue up sooner rather then later

Or risk your entire strategy when you realize that those people will not be starved for new hardware as the userbase grows, and with it, the support. "Why would I need to buy a new console now when this one is getting even more support?"
