It may look like this because IMO 2009 was perhaps the worst year ever from Nintendo supporting their own console. Add to that the fact that 2008 was really poor too and then you get this kinds of reactions.
Probably by 2010 everything will be OK, but what the OP said is not totally terrible, since the past 2 years have been abominably poor. And a lot of the games never made it to the USA on top of that.
