The real reason both the 3DS and Wii U had poor launch windows is because Nintendo had to divide their development resources away from each other. Combine the 3DS and Wii U first years together and you get
New Super Mario Bros. U
Nintendo Land
Nintendogs + cats
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
Star Fox 64 3D
Mario Kart 7
Super Mario 3D World/Land
The Wonderful 101
Pikmin 3
Kid Icarus: Uprising
Add in Pilotwings Resort, Game & Wario, LEGO City, Wind Waker HD.
Doesn't strike me as a lack of software. It's only a lack of software if you stick to the divided handheld/console setup, which also kind of highlights exactly why Nintendo can't do that going forward.
