Supposedly the last statement by Seth is that there's more going on than than we'd think. Here's my analysis:

1. Decision has been intuitively made for game to come over. 2. Online play is being added to the game, game is coming over. 3. Nintendo Network brings online features allowing online play, game is coming over. 4. Good Tri sales mean the game's coming over. 5. Japanese sales exceeded expectations, game is coming over. 6. 3DS' now has a solid install base of about 4 million in US, game is coming over. 7. Decision has been intuitively made for game not to come over. 8. Game is not coming over due to online play. 9. Relatively low Japanese sales mean that game is not coming over.

Someone can probably come up with other realistic possibilities (i.e. with some evidence), but I came up with 6/9 possibilities with the game coming to the West. That's a 67% chance.
