Mario is to blame for Nintendo's financial troubles?

You do have a point, but currently there's only two Mario games for the 3DS. Without them the 3DS sales would have been extremely low and third parties would have left the system (like Ubisoft did with Assassins Creed, THQ with Saint's Row: Drive By and Capcom with Megaman Legends 3).

Mario has to be there (although only to some extend) to keep the third party support up.

Correct, I see no objection to that. I just wonder if 3DS can maintain that momentum in the long run (and I hope it will 'cause I have one). 

Glad we agree. I too own one so my hopes are up as well.
