Because that's the clue.
When Nintendo makes a console like game like Mario 3D and Zelda, they use their main teams for them. The same team that made Twilight Princess made Spirit Tracks. Instead of them being watered down and developed by B-teams, the console-like games on Nintendo handhelds are always full-on entries in their respective series. They are their 'own' games. It has been so since GameBoy.
People notice this, it pays off.
And Revelations did it very smart, while it is a console game, dividing it in short 'episodes' was a smart thing to do to get handheld-like short spurts of gameplay. But still it only sold 600k, most likely because of the different demographic on portables.
