Speaking to investors amidst 3DS price-drop plans, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata briefly touched on the Wii U.
The man behind the global gaming giant worries that by reducing the new 3D console this month, it may pose problems with customer trust for the upcoming successor to the Wii, the Wii U.
Our decision of the price markdown this time has a side effect that, at the launch of the Wii U, people may feel that the price might drop in the near future if they wait.
Those anticipating more news on the next home console from Nintendo will have to wait a little longer - more details will only become public next year, with Iwata feeling that revealing the console during E3 this year could have been too early.
Nintendo did show a handful of technical demos, controller prototype and the basic shell however to prevent any leaks or further rumours.
The Wii U we showed you at the E3 in June was still in the development phase without very specific proposals on the software titles, we are going to announce the release date and the price next year when we are able to explain these.
