Where are you people getting this from? A Holiday 2016 release date was only wishful thinking and not very realistic.

Let's not make such bold statements, people might start believing it was actually delayed when it was not.

Nintendo never announced an official launch date at all, thus NX was never delayed.

You are absolutely correct. Since the NX never had a release date to begin with, how could it be delayed.

But let's be honest here. This is Nintendo we're talking about. Come March 2017 the games for NX won't be ready and E3 2017 will only be three months away. I fully believe the NX will be delayed come next March and will be revealed at E3 2017 with a worldwide release shortly after.

So a NX delay is probably going to happen. Won't surprise me at all. No console has EVER been released before it was shown at E3.

It could happen but Nintendo's own guidance for this fiscal year shows they are banking on NX to replace Wii U revenue.

When they felt they couldn't make holiday 2016, they likely moved to the next important date for them, fiscal year end 2016 which is March 31st 2017. I do think they want the system out by then so they can at least have some benefit for the fiscal year if they can't have the calendar year.

2-4 month delays usually means Nintendo was sincere in trying to make a particular date, it's when you have delays of 6-12+ months that sometimes you know they were lying out their ass about a release date. But I think this was genuine simply a 3-4 month delay, nothing more, nothing less.
