Why wait until E3?

This is Reggie Fils-Aime's response to an interviewers question about the upcoming E3:

We want them to leave feeling that “Wow, Zelda is going to be as huge hit and I want it now. And I’m going to go to my local retailer and put a deposit for the super premium edition of the game,” which we’ll make available. We want the fans to walk away saying, “Wow, look at all this great GBA product and I’m going to be a two-handheld consumer, having both my old-time GBA as well as my brand new DS.” I want the consumer walking away just totally blown away with all the great product coming out for DS, especially Mario Kart, Metroid Prime Hunters, and Animal Crossing. So, in total, I want our fan walking away saying, “Yes, I need to be a three-system household, SP, DS, and GCN.”

But who isn't like this already? Just let me know when reservations are taking place, I'm ready to plunk down a deposit on the new Zelda. And who doesn't already own a GameCube, GBA, and DS? Could I be in the minority there?
