I think I know what's going on with Zelda U/NX

Which can be answered by looking at E3. Why wouldn't the NX be there if it was only a software issue? Games can be shown off at almost any stage in development (Splatoon was 10% when first revealed), consoles however can't.

I think they may be hoping to show an avalanche of cool thinks at once immediately preceding the sale to generate some interest, as if they show it all now it will be old news by the time the holidays are over (and they would still have not sold a thing).

Pretty much the only reason they gave for delaying the Nx past the holidays is that they wanted a strong launch library referencing a lesson they learned from the Wii U, so it's impossible to know what games they're buying extra time for. Either way, Zelda would be delayed so as to provide a game many will want from day 1 on the Nx. Whether Zelda is the game that CAUSED the delay or is merely delayed because some other game wasn't ready, we cannot say.

Personally though, I'm very excited. If you consider both that the only game we even know of is the Zelda game that's not even an exclusive and that they've openly stated their focus is on a quality launch library, there would appear to be a great deal of games that will be released as soon as q1 of next year that have not even been announced yet.

That is exciting to think about!
