Why March 2017 isn't the best time to launch NX

Xenoblade Chronicles X was the last well received exclusive the Wii U will ever have. With a March 2017 release, that gives Nintendo fans a nearly year and a half drought of good games. When the NX launches it will just launch with Zelda.

Hmmm. What other system launched in Q1 and with just a Zelda game, that you could play on another system? How did that launch work out for the 3DS? Oh yeah! That's right. The 3DS launched as an overpriced system with no games. If the NX is anything over $250 then it will fail horribly.

Yet the PS4 launched with no games and a $400 price tag, and it's the fastest selling console this generation. Double standard much?

The PS4 launched seven years after the PS3. People were ready for a new console cycle. The XB1 sold for $100 more, and just had a terrible public relations problem. But yeah, I get your point. Somehow Sony can launch something expensive with no games, and see huge success. Meanwhile if Nintendo did that, they'd be out of bussiness.
