They could just develop for both iPhone and 3DS, I just don't see big developers and publishers underestimating Nintendo again. But I can see 3rd parties stilll preferring Sony and MS, just because Nintendo's power, efficiency and dominance on its own turf is just scaring.

I don't think it's as much a matter of being scared of Nintendo as it is Sony and Microsoft's systems being much more inviting due to hardly any first party presence combined with the possibility of getting (massively) moneyhatted.

Well, the first part of your hypothesis quite overlaps with mine (they differ only on nuances, I say more scared by Ninty, you say not scared at all by Sony and MS competition), and I agree also about your other reason, moneyhatting. Indeed, there could be even more reasons, varying from one company to another. Anyway, Ninty portable are usualy very appealing to 3rd parties, because their sales numbers are so high that even a Nintendo dominance leaves them enough room. The problem may arise almost only on home consoles.
