Iwata: Nintendo 3DS Could Have Shipped this Year
Supply issues blamed for later date
As we know, Nintendo is launching the 3DS next year on February 26 in Japan and in March in the United States and Europe. But it could have been earlier.
According to Nintendo president, 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."
The company has, in fact, slashed it forecast for DS sales to March 31 2011 from 30 million units to 23.5 million units, according to Reuters.

Swear blind that yoou've heard that the 3DS's 3D camera can also provide 3D ultrasound images of your unborn child. Then just look terribly disappointed when it can't.
