There is no point to mention that because 3DS start selling great moment got huge price cut, and no, 3DS wouldn't be sold extremely well without price cut, $250 for handheld was too much in any case.

Didn't the price cut coincide with a huge game release followed by another big game soon after? 

Just checked and nope. The cut was on week to August 14, and except a Shin Megami Tensei early September and and Senran Kagura late September, the lineup was really bare of anything even just a little notable (meaning over 30k FW sales) until Super Mario 3D Land early November. However, even though there was a big game drought, the sales were a lot higher than they were before the cut. In other words, the cut made the sales, not any new games.
