Um, NX was NOT delayed!

A japanese paper called Nikkei asked president Tatsumi Kimishima:

Why Nintendo wasn’t launching the NX in time for this year’s big holiday season?
Kimishima explained that Nintendo wanted to make sure there were games to go along with the NX.

This I believe rather implies that it was supposed to have launched for the holiday season.
Also it makes sense.... its the usual time you launch a console.

How often do you see consoles launch right after the holidays?

Not necessarily, all that statement says is March was chosen instead of Q4 in order to prepare a better lineup, the's difference between a delay and chosing an option. They may have sat down and looked at the options for release and opted for March to give themselves more breathing space to get things right, consoles have launched in March every now and then, PS2, PS4, Xbox, N64, 3DS, DS. March is often the build up approach for a launch year as the platform builds up for the holiday in the launch year rather than relying on the holiday surge to take off.

It doesn't really mean a delay has happened tbh.
