They better got a full first year line-up ready to go. Looking at their overal market presence, they cannot fail in that first year.

The NX will be made or broken in that first year. It's on like donkey for the NX.

Pretty much. They need to not only come out swinging, but maintain the momentum and not fall into a software drought through mid 2017. It's put up or shut up time for Nintendo with NX; their future in the hardware business depends on NX's first year.

Yep, they need to come out like they did with Wii in its first 18 months.
