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

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.

Delaying the date doesn't ensure any of those (except not rushing for Chrismas).

- They may still be rushing to be in time for next Spring.
- They may still have a weak launch line-up
- They may still have a huge day one system update
- They may still have a lot of users signing on in the first few days (this is a good thing)
