"Ask Nintendo why they decided to release a new handheld when their installed base was of 150 million. It's called console life cycles and their are inevitable. Once SW sales start to decrease and attach ratios of installed base/yearly software decreases, then it's time to move on. Why are third parties supporting the 3DS?"

Again Nintendo is not in the same position when it comes to handheld: third parties have been really successful on the DS not on the Wii. That's the whole difference so if they don't improve the situation on the Wii there is really no reason to believe that the third partiy support will be decent for their next console too. It's not like they have the choice really imo.
