Digitimes: Nintendo NX production postponed to early 2017 to add VR functionality

[JEMC]

Kimishima said to Nintendo investors that NX would launch in March 2017 to allow them to get a better software lineup, and I see no reason to believe this Digitimes rumor more than what Nintendo's president said.

 

Also, unless they are making drastic changes to the NX, like changing the internal hardware, I see no reason why Nintendo would have to delay the machine six months to add VR. Most headsets (the Rift and Vive) need an HDMI 1.4 connection and from 1 to 4 USB connectors to work, and adding extra USB ports don't require such a big delay.

And even if Nintendo is working on a headset of their own, they won't include it in the basic set as that would greatly increase the price of the machine, further proving that this info is wrong.
