Why aren't more games being made for the 3DS?

Go ahead, the best selling third party 3DS game is Monster Hunter 4 with a mere 3.4 million retail sales. The 3DS isn't an attractive platform to these developers because the audience simply isn't there.

We are talking HHs though righ? Its not in the same league as HC bro. Look up all HH SW sales for comparison^

The 3DS's third party software sales are underwhelming to put it mildly and nothing can change that fact. It doesn't matter how badly the Vita is failing, the 3DS isn't anywhere near as successful as the DS or even the original PSP. It's not a simple binary choice for developers as they can, and in many cases have already, abandon the handheld market in favor of smartphone, console and PC game development.
