I agree. It might actually be a good tactic though. They need that console to come out fast, they need a console they can sell games on now. And the Wii U just isn't that system. I don't think they care all that much about the fiscal year end report, but it might play a small part in the timing.
They can't justify delaying Zelda anymore, but they need Zelda to sell their system, so they have no other option than to release the system now. A super strong launch lineup isn't necessarily a good thing. The Wii U actually had a good launch lineup despite what people say. A ton of third party games, that didn't sell well because they were competing against each other over a small user base, it essentially cost Wii U its momentum.
Mario Odyssey is done, but releasing it simultaneously with Zelda is too risky. Nintendo don't want to release all their big main titles too close to each other.
The Switch will get its games in the fall. Mario, Xenoblade, Fire Emblem Warriors, possibly Pikmin and a handful of third party titles. I actually don't expect Pokemon Stars to come for the Switch, it makes more sense to release it on the 3DS in my opinion, and then the next Pokemon title for Switch in 2018.
