This is kind of concerning to me... Maybe there's another way to read it, but this implies they haven't even started on a new Metroid game.

Even Other M took 3 years to produce, and Prime 3 took over 2 years to release just from when it was first shown off, let alone from when it actually started production.

Even assuming they perfectly nail production and get something out in 2 years, that points to the end of 2015, with 3 years pointing to the end of 2016 seeming more likely...

Yeah, I noticed that too.  Here's to hoping the article is actually REALLY old.
