I've always felt that Day 1 console buyers tend to be the hardcore fan base and generally an older audience as its their own money and can buy it whenever rather than rely on it been a Christmas gift so with a March release one thing I can see is that it will hit the core Nintendo fan base as a day 1 purchase whilst building up a game library over the rest of 2017 to go into it's first holiday period with a strong and wider game library in time for the more casual and parents buying it for their kids market as well as presenting itself to day one X1/PS4 owners could be a lot more likely to be interested in grabbing a new piece of hardware as it would be 4 years since they launched.
