Is that from the investor meeting or something a user here said?

Kimishima's quote regarding Nintendo-like profits in the fiscal year ending in March 2017 can be found in their transcript of the investors meeting that took place in late January/early February 2016. The absence of Nintendo-like profits can be looked up on Nintendo's forecast that was made public earlier this week; they are projecting less than half of Nintendo-like profits (a term that is defined as 100 billion yen).

The most plausible explanation for that change in outlook is an NX delay. Missing the holiday season as well as a reduced availability of roughly four months. A November launch would have given NX roughly 4.5 months to contribute to Nintendo's profits while the actual March launch will give it one month at best.

Then why not release it holiday 2017?
