Let's Compare the first eight or nine months for both the 3DS and the DS. I'll focus on games that had average scores of about 4/5 or more.
DS:
Advance Wars DS
Kirby: Canvas Curse
Meteos
Nintendogs
WarioWare Touched
...and not much else. Surprise, Surprise. Big games like Mario Kart DS, Sonic, Castlevania, and Animal Crossing didn't come out until the DS's second holiday season.
3DS:
Dead or Alive Dimensions
Ocarina of Time 3D
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked
Star Fox 64
Super Street Fighter IV 3D
Once again, only five games. Admittedly, all but one of them appeared on another console in some form, but there is more 3rd party support on the 3DS.
So, basically, Nintendo is repeating its past. Considering how the DS turned out, I have no complaints.
