TV out for the 3DS is supposed to be in the works already.  Possibly arriving with the big firmware update next month.

TV out?? over what exactly? Bluetooth?

The 3DS doesn't have built in BlueTooth.  It would use the same Wi-Fi signal it uses for SpotPass and StreetPass.

Is this something Nintendo have talked about? transmitting live video to a TV or console? I only heard them mention recording movies in 3D... If I could play 3DS games on my television (assuming they'd look decent) that would be a major incentive towards buying...

They've not spoken much on it at all yet.  Largely because they've not yet even announced their next home console.

Nintendo would be without an active home console on the market for well over a year, if that happened. Active in the sense of new game releases.

You really believe that there will be no game releases in 2013 leading up to the new console?

The Wii is already in a similar position as the Gamecube was in 2005/6. 2012 is only going to be worse with next to nothing left to be released, so it would make sense to launch a new console next year, possibly as early as spring. A console that is on the verge of dying doesn't last another two and a half years.

I think there is more in the works than you're considering.

Also, with the console still selling at the same rate as the PS3/X360 at $200, it would financially poor judgement to leave so much money on the table.  You can look at their 3DS pricing as evidence of their economic strategy.

Gamecube had the problem of low software, low console sales and already low price.  Wii is only just at the low software point and even that is greater than GC in its final years.
