Well ninty was in red alert in 2011~12 with the 3ds lauch being lukewarm. With a real comprtitor finally arriving in the psp last gen, they REALLY needed to push the 3ds, which turned out great in the end.
I mean, the wii au would have sold a bit more if they didn't focus entirely on 3ds but would you rather have a 20 milion wii Us and 45 milion 3ds's or 14 milion wii Us and 70 milion 3dses
