I know that it was already posted that Miyamoto has said that he wants to finish and release Pikmin 3 quickly and that he wanted to create a new franchise next year. I found more information and Miyamoto also said:
"amongst the present promises, I have to finish Pikmin quickly, so production is progressing extremely well."
It sounds as if Miyamoto is only making Pikmin 3 because he already said it was coming and that he doesn't want to upset fans. He wants to start something new but can't do that until Pikmin 3 is done.
Pikmin 2 is my favorite game of all time and I had high hopes for the 3rd game but I don't know now if it can be all that great if he is being rushed by Nintendo and himself.
