Because that would result in Nintendo holding back lots of NX games at a time when the 3DS and Wii U wouldn't be generating much revenue anymore. If Nintendo doesn't sell new products for an extended period of time, they'll have a hard time to turn a profit. It doesn't make sense to delay NX for another eight months when it's ready to go. A launch in March 2017 will allow NX to contribute to Nintendo's bottom line for the full twelve months of the fiscal year ending in March 2018. A November 2017 launch would reduce that number to 4.5 months. The only reason why NX would be delayed further is that game development falls behind schedule. A holiday launch might be preferable, but it's not important enough to opt for a long delay for the sole reason of having a holiday launch. Regardless of when a video game system launches, eventually it will have to sell during non-holiday months. |
They could still launch the console holiday 2016. If consoles sell well then. Waiting 4 months for more games wouldnt be so bad.
