Their competitors have copied things in the past.It is a legit concern.The other main reason for the delay is getting games ready.I mostly only play Nintendo games and only but a few games per year.Many concerns that effect other people don't effect me.Besides what I said about NX is the previous sentences about the delay the only things we actually know about it is the March 2017 release date.All of the other rumors are false unless confirmed directly by Nintendo themselves.

Their competitors followed market trends and did what they felt was right; it just so happened Nintendo did them first. That's if we're talking about Sony and Microsoft. Sega actually did some things Nintendo later copied (custom optical disc media format, controller-based motion controls (Sega Bass Fishing peripheral on DC predates Wii nunchuck + Wiimote by some years), memory expansion carts (1MB cart w/ KOF '96 predates the Expansion Pak by 2 years, "2nd-screen" concept predating the PocketStation, GC/GBA connectivity and Wii U Gamepad)), and Sega themselves copied from those like NEC (CD add-on for a cartridge system, for example) and back from Nintendo.

That's just how the industry goes. Things that would later be copied and iterated on, but that didn't stop them from trying and didn't make them come up with weak sauce to explain why they skipped the biggest media event of the year (when they made consoles and gave a fuck). And the thing about the delay, is that time-wise it does not line up with a traditional console launch and they're going to miss out on big holiday sales.

That March release is not intentional, it was delayed. And either something very big happened on the production side (the AMD chip rumors may or may not be true) or they did not feel like they had a strong enough product to compete with the holiday releases, PSVR and maybe PS Neo if that's actually coming out this year.
