I think Nintendo is purposely holding third and first party titles back till this fall/winter. With lack luster sales of 3DS Nintendo doesn't want to waste its big guns before the arrival of Sony's PSVita. Nintendo needs to counter Vita and lets face it anyone wanting a 3DS will buy one with or without the software. Nintendo wants to convince consumers who might choose Vita that Nintendo is the best option. Best way to do that, release all the killer apps and third party content right alongside Sony's release.
I think had 3DS sold off the shelves at launch and kept selling steadily. Then Nintendo and third party titles would be coming out on a regular basis. But due to the lack of sales Nintendo has to plan more strategic launches that best match the competition!
