You know something's amiss when Nintendo announces something that would potentially cause damage to its profits. By announcing the 3DS right before the US launch of the DSi XL, it's probably safe to bet how many less units of the gianormous DS remake would sell like because of the announcement. But the weird timing of the announcement wasn't because of Nintendo, no, it was because Japanese journalists had seemingly already known about the console and was going to leak the info, but Nintendo stopped them by announcing it itself.

Journalists: I know all your secrets and I'm going to leak them!
Nintendo: Not if I leak them first!

Strange scenario there.
