People are claiming that NX was delayed because of software and 14nm chips. More than likely the real reason was to give investors profit boners. For me it seems a little convenient that it is releasing basically on the 1st of a new fiscal year.

This was planned, and the console was never delayed.

The delay claim tbh is one I feel that's being thrown around to make up for why it wasn't released during the period they thought it would. Imo Nintendo had a few options for when to release and chose March after looking at several factors like line up and so on.

No, the idea of it being delayed comes from Kimishima saying that NX was a major reason why they expect "Nintendo like profits" (¥100 billion) in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017.

They have now announced that NX will release in March 2017 and no longer expect "Nintendo like profits".
