To be honest I don't think fall launches/November launches in particular are all that great anyway in the modern sense. So I don't think it has to be fall 2024 or bust, like it could be April 2024 or June 2024 or August 2024, etc. etc.
Nowadays all that would do is you'd have early adopters and scalpers buy all the initial units leaving more regular consumers out in the cold. If you launch in say ... May or June or July or August I think it's much better, you get the initial launch sales from early adopters but then have chances for multiple (or at least one) big restock for the holiday season.
Also plenty of Nintendo systems have launched outside the fall period ... Game Boy Advance (March in Japan, July in North America), Super Nintendo (August in North America), N64 (June in Japan, September in North America), original Game Boy (April in Japan, July in North America), original Famicom (July in Japan), 3DS (Feb in Japan, March in North America) and the Switch itself (March worldwide).
Launching in November really only started with the GameCube (Wii, DS, Wii U).
