Nintendo *needs* an extra 6 months to achieve optimal launch timing

Releasing the Wii U 6 months later is nit the same as Wii U games releasing 6 months earlier! MK8 would still release in may, Splatoon would still release in may, and so on and so forth.

 You missed my point. Same launch date for the console.

WiiU itself didn't arrive 6 months too soon, but instead lacked 6 months worth of development.  6 months if invested correctly that could have realigned and beefed up the schedule to have prevented the WiiU catrastrophe down the line in Spring/Summer 2013
