I don't really think holiday releases mean so much anymore so I'm glad it was delayed instead of being forced to make a time frame that wasn't going to work for the dev team. Consoles sell better during the holidays no matter what games are being released, Sony didn't have a huge exclusive last holiday either but they still had the highest selling console globally over that time period and they were also the most expensive. I would guess this year there is likely to be some kind of price drop so that should help as well. When you look at 2015 overall they'll have had as many or more 1st party games released as the competition they just weren't all crammed into the same 3 month window.
