Nintendo is running out of time for an NX launch in March

I don’t think Nintendo is going to delay the NX, but your conclusion may vary when you look at how long Nintendo has between now and March.

If the NX launches in March, the allegedly portable console will have one of the shortest marketing runways in the history of the console business. During a conference call with investors in April, Nintendo confirmed the NX’s 2017 release window. Since the company typically releases new hardware on Sundays, we can estimate that the publisher is potentially aiming for a March 26 launch. That means if Nintendo revealed the NX today, it would have only 158 days to build up excitement before the launch of the dedicated gaming hardware.
