Really? Not strong third party support? Unless if you specifically refer to western devs, which by all accounts have NEVER meaningfully supported handheld platforms, your statement is wholly incorrect. 3DS has seen game development to an extent that is only comparable and equivalent to support received by prior handheld platforms by Nintendo. It has the same support as DS did, and the same overall quality of third party software.

The GBA and DS had decent western support. The assertion that Western developers hated handhelds was always nonsense. People just that as a cop out to justify poor third party support for a handheld. Compared to past Nintendo handhelds, 3DS is lacking in variety and companies supporting it. It's overall support was simply "Okay", but a major step back from what came before.
