Will Japan EARTHQUAKE effect 3DS launch?

[Tizona]

8.9, 5th strongest quake since 1900.

As for the thread itself, It's really just something most of us were thinking and someone was bound to ask, and people were bound to see it as distasteful.

I bet it will effect all japanese gaming in the short run, but will recover fairly soon (maybe 3-6 months) Japan has the 3rd largest economy (I believe) in the world, so it will recover a lot faster than say, Chile or certainly Haiti, and most of the other countries that have experieced similar catastrophies.
