This is the one thing I really don't understand. I don't recall any console being D0med for having slim pickings when it comes to software during its first year, let alone first six months. What makes this case so different than any one before it?

Other reasons, like the hardware failing to set off people's imagination of possible new games, or the Vita's better perceived value or smartphone domination etc. I can understand, which is why I see it as being a combination of different issues, not one clear flaw like people are pointing out...

In short: The 3DS is an anti-Nintendo handheld, despite resembling a DS in terms of hardware design.

Long answer: Read this. Not only does it explain why the 3DS itself is a problem, but also why Nintendo's future on the whole is at risk.

Would have read, but Malstrom. He has occasional genius (his bird men article) but for the most part he's no better than Pachter, he's just wrong on different things.
