A console release is more premature then a handheld. They always do fine with their handhelds, so they can play it safe into the field and see what to do with the console.
I'm just ready for some solid, concrete news. I still haven't opened the 3ds I got last year after Sear's accidentally marked it down, so I'm mostly checking for the console. Especially waiting on some info on the new Zelda release.
