I don't think it would matter much.

Nintendo can shift 2million units at launch with 2D Mario and shovelware as launch titles tbh, its not hard to get hardcore enthusiasts and early adopters in launch month. 3D Mario is a big step up from 2DMario and Zelda will (hopefully) arrive right around the corner so there will be no slowing down of momentum.

It will be the same situation as the Wii U. Launch is not a problem. It's what comes after. If Zelda is really a May game it could help, but I doubt. It looks more like a traditional holiday release.

Also, as Peelman said, people is asking for Zelda, not Mario. Nintendo must not be as obtuse as they were during thE Wii U era doing whatever they wanted instead of giving people what they ask for.

From what? It was pretty much assumed a launch title and the same source which is telling us it might miss launch is saying testing will likely be 4-6months starting the new year which means April-June. 

Furthermore Zelda is not the only thing Nintendo can use to sell systems, so I will wait for their official games line-up before making any comparisons to the Wii U which launched with nothing more than 2D Mario and the promise of Pikmin 3 and Wonderful 101 arriving later in the year lol
