Honestly, I could be completely wrong but I suspect Nintendo is really trying to lower expectations in order to maximize the positive reception of what they do announce ...
In a way it wouldn't be that much different from parents of teenagers telling their children before Christmas that they shouldn't expect remarkably expensive gifts (like iPads) just because their friends are getting them; because you can then give them something like a 3DS or an iPod and they will be far more likely to be happy with it.
