I think the only possible reason why the 3DS wouldn't get a large slice of third-party support is that might get lost in the iOS/Android--PS4/XO shuffle. Developers seem eager to jump into those pools at the moment, though probably for different reasons. I think the 3DS also suffers from a bit of the same thing Nintendo home consoles experience, which is the perception that only a few genres really sell well on the system.
Anyone else think that Nintendo could use a western studio that focuses only on the 3DS? In order to widen the scope of that perception?
I am surprised that some of the bigger publishers aren't giving the 3DS more of a run, though. I guess, really, everyone has so many projects going on. Things will likely be better for everyone when the PS3 and 360 get phased out. It will be interesting to see who gets the move love in Japan; the 3DS, the Wii U, or the PS4.
