Pikmin 3 is not coming this generation. I'll believe it will when I see it.

Miyamoto has already made some kind of vague statememt to the effect of 'I am looking forward to the next Nintendo system having HD graphics.  I think certain games will really benefit from it such as Pikmin.'

He cited Pikmin specifically, which makes me at least think Nintendo isn't working on one at the moment or is only in the 'alpha' stage of development.  And possibly going to make it a launch game for their next system.

Yeah indeed. That was some vague statement years ago that got a lot of people all excited. Nothing whatsoever has been mentioned about the game ever since. Heck, we know far more about Zelda Wii than Pikmin 3. Imo, too, if they are even working on the title at all, it's only with a small team doing some tests and whatnot. Maybe for their next system, yeah, but I don't see it coming out anytime soon. I just don't get why people get all hyped up over literally nothing.

Actually, the E3 before last one (E3 2008), Miyamoto said they're working on Pikmin.

Then when asked about it during E3 2009 he said work is still underway, but with a relatively small team so they don't have anything to show yet.

Not saying that means it will be out this gen (though I personally think it will), I'm just saying that your information is incorect.
