Basically Meizu choose way back when the iPhone was announced to make a 'competitive' product to the iPhone, but seeing as they have NEVER made a phone before their R&D took forever and after multiple redesigns they got even more delayed. Now your right, most companies at this point would see the benefit in dropping a now very delayed (and lets face it) soon to be outdated (and not yet released) phone.
However Meizu put all their eggs in one basket and then took a big shit on top of it. They don't have the time and resources to refocus on making the M7 (only made a slim down version of the M6, the SL, which increased that products life by 6 months or so), so they are left with this one product to hold up their brand.
I think Meizu got in way over their head and its going to cost them, shame, their M6 is a great player, they should have just focused on making the M7.
