Um, NX was NOT delayed!

While NX was not yet given a date, internally they definitely had a launch plan well over a year ago. With that in mind you can state the launch was delayed or rather their plan was changed prior to a public announcement.

I believe the plan was moved from a holiday launch to March for a few reasons.
Data:
1) Consoles have been launching in holidays for a few gens now because its more lucrative.
2) Zelda U was definitely NOT going to be launched without being at same time on U/NX.
3) Zelda U was originally delayed to be NX-ified from a 2015 to a 2016 launch.
4) Nintendo announced a new platform called NX in early 2015.

Questions:
1) Why would they move Zelda to "2016" if they had not been planning for a possible NX 2016 launch?
2) Why would they tease NX so early in 2015 if they had not been planning to release in 2016?

Conclusion:
Nintendo intended to launch in 2016. However, game and possibly hardware development was not at a level where holiday 2016 was achievable, therefore they moved it to March 2017.

Could have been intended for holiday 2017, but Nintendo realized that they would have no games between holiday 2016 through October 2017 for the WiiU, so they moved the launch to march 2017.
