Iwata explains why the 3DS isn’t coming out this year

This information comes from Satoru Iwata…
“At first we thought it would be desirable to launch the 3DS within the year, so we made our forecasts on that basis. At this point it is clear that if we launch within the year, we will not be able to supply enough units.”
I was honestly shocked when Iwata stated that the 3DS wouldn’t be releasing in any territory this year. I was skeptical of a NA/European launch for 2010, but I was almost certain it would at least be out in Japan around November. It will feel strange not having the 3DS around for the holiday season, but at least more units will be available when the system launches and more developers have time to work on their projects.
