There's no chance that companies expecting to release large console games for NX in 2016 are just now getting, or are still waiting to get, dev kits. 9 months wouldn't be anywhere near enough time to get everything done for a big console title, including learning the basics of how to program for it.

The very fact that it's being described as "early Dev Kit access" for those who are waiting to order a dev kit pretty much guarantees that it's a 2017 release for the console.
