Nintendo is not going to be launching the Wii U until at least June next year if Nintendo's most recent statement on the pain of the 3DS launch is anything to go on.Nintendo president, Saturo Iwata, has pointed out:
"We are also planning to launch the Wii U, which is the successor to the Wii, during the next fiscal year. We would like to show the final format of the Wii U at the E3 show next year. As we learned a bitter lesson with the launch of the Nintendo 3DS, we are trying to take every possible measure so that the Wii U will have a successful launch."
