To those who say NX isn't coming this year

Whatever they do, I'll just be curious to see how things go. Surely I won't buy any console this year, I haven't even time to play all the games in my PC backlog and for some I'll have to upgrade my PC before it's technically possible, but I'm curious anyway. I hope they release the portable first, because I fear that if they release their next home console too early they could hurt both themselves and the whole market seriously.

 

There's no correlation between releasing a console "early" and damaging the industry or even your own singular market share. Sega Genesis, Playstation 1, Playstation 2, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS all launched "early" in some ways too and all were hugely successful. 

It just depends on how you execute. Nintendo could launch in 2018, 2019, 2020 and still bomb if the product is a poor one that doesn't appeal to a wide variety of people. Hell it could still fail if its released in those years and is genuinely a pretty good console. There are a million variables. There's no release date that means Nintendo is going to magically have success.
