I dunno Reggie has been wrong many times before. However I can't recall any times he's been wrong since he became NOA President. I think he was probubly telling the truth and maybe the Japanese release date will be in December and the American date in mid late January.
Origionally I thought it made no sense to release in early 2011 Nintendo would be missing the holiday season. However it donned on me, the 3DS will sell out regardless and Nintendo really won't benefit at all from launching it for Christmas. Why steal thunder from the regular DS this holiday season when you can sell just as many units launching right after the holidays.
For Japan this doesn't matter as Christmas isn't as big out there. But honestly Nintendo will have a hard enough time keeping stock on shelves with a launch in Jan, Feb or March they don't need a holiday launch.
Not to mention I'm broke this holiday season so I sorta hope it launches early next year so I can afford to get my hands on one without using my credit card
