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.

First off, how is the 3DS anti Nintendo? It is the very much Nintendo. Bring new and inovative ways to play. As opposed to playing games the same way with just better graphic. Second, that has to be the dumbest articles I have ever read. It's like the author has no concept at all of inflation and currency devaluation. Of coarse people got more back then. Only one controller was them adjusting to devaluation. Just like ever other company does. Also, I'm trying to figure out is how the recession going to affect Nintendo and not Microsoft and Sony? The Vita will face the same problems as the 3DS.
