I agree with your analysis, since nintendo is willing the 3DS to take on the DS as fast as possible. Since Nintendo expects piracy will be reduced with 3DS features, It will do better on software's sales. I believe they expect to sell more software than the DS on maturity, even if hardware's sales are less impressive.
