Do you agree with this statement:?
Whether Nintendo is abandoning their customers will be evident just by looking at the games they made for DS vs. what they are making for 3DS.
After all, you said this:
The direction of the 3DS is to provide not only 1.) the same games they provided on DS plus 2.) some core games that were not able to be done for the DS.
The evidence I provided in my post shows that Nintendo is NOT making "the same games they provided on DS."
Having lived through the DS explosion, I believe the three pillars of DS success to be "non-games", top-down RPGs, and 2D action/platform games. These games are not on 3DS and are not announced for 2011, and the best you can do is to say "you have no idea what Ninty has coming down the pipe." Well, I do know that "non-games," top-down RPGs and 2D action/platform games were not made for 3DS' first year. And 3DS is "going to hell in a hens basket."

Nintendogs, animal crossing, the sims, doctor lautrec, pilotwings, deca sports there are your non-games. Tales of Abyss, shin megemi tensei, those are your RPGs, which take time to make and Ninty doesnt really make those anyway. Raving Rabbids, Contra 3ds, Sonic Generations, Paper Mario, Frogger, Shinobi. Those are your 2d action/platform. So your argument of those games not being made is simply false

Those are some pretty terrible examples. First of all, we're talking about Nintendo abandoning their customers, and the games I listed were all Nintendo-published. Secondly, calling a 3D flight game or a sports compilation "non-games" is absurd, as is calling Paper Mario a 2D action/platform game, or listing the Sims or Frogger as anything other than 3rd rate, 3rd party schluff that is released for every system. Does 3DS have Madden and Namco Collection too?
Be honest. What is the direction Nintendo is really pushing? Pilotwings, 3D Mario, Ocarina, Kid Icarus, Luigi's Mansion, Star Fox. These games represent the main effort from Nintendo for 3DS' first year. They are sequels or remakes to 3D games which failed to sell SNES, N64 or Gamecube systems. The sequels to Brain Age, NSMB, Animal Crossing, or second tier efforts like Flash Focus, Big Brain Academy or Math Training, were not planned for 3DS' first year. And the first year of 3DS is so far an unmitigated disaster that has required a 1/3rd price drop, giving away 20 free games, and the CEO of the company to take a 50% salary reduction.
