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

 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

No, I got your point, but you were twisting reality to make your point a but more rosy than it is.

I'm not saying WiiU would have beat X1 and PS4 in these conditions - I'm saying it would have been more competitive.

It's not to make anything rosy - it's to draw some parrallels to the WiiU and NX launches and their software delivery cycles. It's a problem I think they're trying to solve, but they may not succeed. Naturally Nintendo understands something about their failure with the WiiU and try to correct those mistakes with NX. Hence NX and Zelda get delayed - 6 months out.
