It might be that they simply don't want to release the handheld that close to the console. Many of us were speculating a release date close to the console, like early 2017, but this pretty much guarantees that we won't see the handheld until holiday 2017.
This might make good business sense, as they don't want to bombard the market with a bunch of NX products at the same time. A year difference would make sure this doesn't happen. With that in mind, it probably means that 3rd party support for cross-platform NXDS games could still become standard - they just don't have the kits yet.
