While Reggie Fils-Aime said differently on late night TV, the company line is that the 3D portable will launch before March 31, 2011
Nintendo is standing firm on their original release window for the 3DS, which was before the end of the current fiscal year, despite the fact that Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime teased a specific time frame of "next year" on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last week.
"Nintendo 3DS is schedule to launch by the end of Nintendo's current fiscal year, which runs through March 31, 2011," said Charlie Scibetta, Nintendo of America's senior director of Corporate Communications.
Fils-Aime could have been correct in his slip of the tongue, but Nintendo of America is not ready to fully admit that the system isn't launching in North America until 2011.
