It's been going on for longer than a month. It was a launch lineup that made the PS3's look strong, Fukushima a couple of weeks after its release and then Vita becoming the darling of E3 that has sent 3DS down a path that it still might not recover from.
Also, it just didn't really have the wow factor that I think a lot of people were expecting it to have. It's true that I have stigmatisms, so I might not be judging it entirely correctly, but for me in a lot of ways the 3D resembles a modern take on those old belt buckles of the 70s and 80s that kind of gave you a 3d impression where if you looked at them one way and then you looked at them another you got different pictures. I do think it has good graphics overall (until Vita comes out) but I really wasn't any more impressed by the 3d effect than I was with the 3D effect of those old belt buckles.
Plus, I think all the health warnings that came out made some people leery of it. And parents probably don't want to spend $250 on what they view as a toy (especially not during the Christmas season).
I am hoping that the upcoming RE game for it is the best one since 4 and Code Veronica, however, I would also like to hear that it's coming to Vita as well prior to its release.
