The 3DS launch didn't have many good games. And by good, I mean "okay" games. Before the price drop the 3DS had plenty of actual shovelware titles as filler. The 3DS sold (more than the Vita.) A massive amount of shovelware hit after the price drop and still few games really worth getting the system for. The system sells a truck load.
The end of 2011 and the 3DS actually gets games that can be considered pretty good, and then early 2012. Then nothing but shovelware up until holiday 2012, early 2013.
Shovelware gives the perception of the console having a lot of games. The fact that most people aren't going to play every game really makes the games they are going to play stand out. Or in the 3DS case, the early shovelware made the so-so games stand out so people bought those to have something atleast playable until something good came out.
