This information comes from Capcom producer Motohide Eshiro…
“I can’t comment officially but, personally speaking, I think it had a lot to do with the announcements for new consoles. That was overshadowing any other game news at the time.”
Unfortunately, I feel as though Okamiden is in a similar situation as its predecessor. The game is coming out very close to the launch of the 3DS. I’m somewhat concerned that the system’s launch will overshadow the release of Okamiden.
