Is NX off to a bad start? Destined to flop? or just a slow starter?

[Ostro]

I don't understand why most people (who shout out on the net) are upset about the date.

Nintendo avoids or might avoid:
- rushing the thing to be ready in time for Christmas
- lots of people being disappointed with a weak launch line-up/first 6 months because games aren't ready
- an insanely huge first day system update
- too many users signing in during the first few days of the NX and the new online network making it crash and people being upset
and hasn't talked about the NX at all so people don't know anything about it, there wasn't even a date before.

This is all clever to me, especially when they can slowly build it up for a proper Christmas 2017.
This is very Nintendo-like actually, I wish more companies would think and act like that and not only look at what's best for the quick money. In the end, customers need to be satisfied and a smooth image is worth more than a quick cash-in. It just baffles me how the world actually seems to want companies to be assholes and rush an unfinished product to the market with a ton of flaws and resulting effects when it's just about a 3 months wait for something they didn't even know when it was coming in the first place. Hardware and sofware always needs to be tested and pushed out slowly. It doesn't work well with a sudden userbase of millions of people during the first week. Slow and steady for a steady system. I hate all of my current consoles for not being steady at all and will love the NX just for that if Nintendo is intending what I believe.
