IMO a March release date for NX makes it a wash and all bets are cancelled. It's possible Nintendo was targeting holiday 2016 but just couldn't make it work, but ain't no PR ever going to admit to that. So in terms of aspiration the 2016 people may have been right. But because NX is being released in 2017 it makes the 2017 people technically right, but not necessarily aligned with Nintendo's original target.
So I think crow should be off the menu, and everyone should get served chicken, because everyone played chicken with the launch time, and Nintendo flinched by splitting the difference.
