Anyway, 3DS was announced on 2010, 5 years ago(yeah, i know, i feel old too). Pokemon X Y took 3 years to be made. So its wise trying to bring a pokemon title as a launch title. Nintendo take 1,5 years between announcment and actual release, so everything is possible.
The building that would unify the internal nitenndo divisions is ready. Lets wait and see.
"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."
