They never said their U projects would be out in 2013 outside of Tri Ultimate though, late ports generally don't do spectacularly as Mass Effect showed (both 3 on the U and 2 on PS3 suffered hard), this is because it's a new platform and a late port would of sold to the intended fanbase already on other platforms and Capcom seem to be recognizing this. Weighing things up how well would RE6 really do now on any other platform if released late? Most avid gamers would probably not be as interested given the mixed reaction it got.

It will be then a case of too little too late? Late ports don't do very well, true. But if the effort is small it could generate two advantages, first they make several teams familiar with the hardware quickly and second they can make a few bucks with little risk, besides they may be introducing the franchise to a new audience (like with DMC).
If they wait till 2014 to produce something for the console, they are leaving money on the table and I think is better to have some "not so late" ports than nothing at all.
