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

It's simple: If Nintendo was confident about the console and its line-up they would launch during the holidays. A March launch says they're scared of the competition and limits it to the hardcore Nintendo fanbase (who'd buy it any time of the year) as the mainstream would've spent their money months prior.

Skipping holiday suggests to me they're not going all in, thing won't even be at E3. Sounds like really bad news.

I wouldn't really read too much into that. 

I think they might not want to show at E3 because it gives their competetion too much time (almost 9 months) to prep/prepare potentially copy certain ideas too ... depending on what they got. 

I mean I predict a lot but honestly it's hard to know with Nintendo. If they have some kind of new fangled concept that is a killer idea, if I was running Nintendo I would probably wait until Nov/December to unveil, as much it might infuriate game fans on the message boards, they forget about all that stuff the moment you start showing games anyway. 

Or the system could just suck, lol, I don't know, but I do think Nintendo has something here that's considerably better than what the Wii U was. 

PS4Neo is launching this holiday so there's nothing they could copy. But yeah, there's nothing for Sony to copy from Nintendo, PS4Neo is a new PS4 while NX is a new system. Sony is the industry leader again, whatever the 3rd place company is coming up with has to be groundbreaking for Sony to even consider them as rivals, let alone copy their ideas.
