Your post made me actually check the release dates and you're worryingly right. All the big to semi-big games for the 3DS except MH are due this holiday in Japan (Layton vs. Wright, Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion, Paper Mario). Nintendo would be wise to push one or two of these to next year, especially given that Mario and XL can easily rule the holidays without much help.
Although, PSP pretty much had some of its best years surviving on nothing but Monster Hunter. It would have barely broken 15m LT without MH. With that kind of system-selling power, 3DS could still be fine.
