Nintendo simply was not able to expand the market enough with 3d. There are plenty of viable venues for a 3d camera handheld and Nintendo has not pushed it's ability. Look at Kinect. It has shit games but sells a lot because it's useful in other applications. It doesn't have to be useful for games in order for it to be a good product. (Of course, this is the same shit I always talk when people say Kinect is a success...I remind them that it's only a success in alternate applications and not for games)

Nintendo has not done a good enough job showing us what can be done with the 3d in other applications. For example, with the wii, we had the balance board. Wii Fit is not exactly a game, but the tech in the system provided us with this new application. Nintendo has not done this with the 3DS.

Nintendo's mistake was that they tried to bank on 3D, but consumers at large see Nintendo as a company who makes video games. People do not buy Nintendo systems for non-gaming purposes.

Honestly, I just think it's before its time, much like the rest of the home 3D market.
