Annoying Old Party Man

...and if yes, when do you expect they're going full launch?
I mean, all the evidence is there
- Not too many third party games, and lots of devs don't even seem to have dev kits yet. Most of big third party stuff will be coming by end of year
- Only 2-3 million units for launch
- OS by all accounts, seems incomplete
- No proper online functionality
- Seemingly no other apps (Netflix, browser, etc) besides core gaming functions.
It seems to me they are in a place where they simply CANNOT delay it any further, but on the other hand, they haven't set the system in a position where they're 100% comfortable with it yet.
So, they will launch and rely on the hardcore fans for now, hope that the USP and first party titles are strong enough, and the system will build steam around next holiday time. I'm not sure if Nintendo really minds too, maybe that was the plan all along.
What say you GAF?
