Are you guys sure that you have determined the correct winner? The news that is going around is that NX was delayed to March 2017. Delayed from a holiday launch in 2016, of course.

This thread was created because of all the arguments whether Nintendo would be going for a 2016 or 2017 launch of their next generation. Both sides of the argument were gunning for a holiday quarter launch, but in different years.

Technically, neither side is right now. But if you want to crown a winner, it would be the 2016 people. Not only is it a confirmed delay, but the 2017 main argument was that anything less than a lifecycle of five years is not going to happen or should not happen. That's why the entire issue blew up to begin with.

As always the consumate spinner.

There was almost no way they could do 2016.  If they intended 2016 it would have been a panic rush job in which the software for launch would have been absolutely thin trash or they would have been trouble with hardware issues because they did not take the proper product time to make sure there wouldn't be issues.  I said it before and i'll say it again.  Anything 2016 would have shown Nintendo to be in complete panic mode.  Potentially out of ideas and going down the drain.

This 'delay' launch to March, I called August and I still think that is a better launch window if you aren't going to do a holiday launch, still shows that they _want_ to wait until they have what they believe is the best foot forward software and hardware wise.

People who think they should launch earlier don't understand the first thing about launching a product.  Wtf good is it to launch a product that you can't actually supply.  If you can't manufacture the number of product that demand requires than you are likely to lose sales.  Despite the hit that the Nintendo brand has had it is still a known product and kids all over the world still want it.  If Nintendo can't provide it, parents will go elsewhere to provide their kids with entertainment and believe me there are plenty of places to go for it.  Kids won't care soon enough when Nintendo has nothing new, how about let's watch the next minions movie or lets play games on our snazie phones.
