Yeah... DS launch was awful, so bad in fact that it actually had a less than 1:1 attach ratio in the US until March 2005 iirc...
For those that don't remember (or blocked it out, lol) we had in the comparable "launch window" (Nov 2004 to Feb 2005)...

SHUT UP!
Steel Diver FTW.
Yeah, I think he's referring to new installments of these IPs, not the 3D enhanced older titles that will probably be packed in as freebies anyways or cheap downloads.

This. I think he means new 3D Mario and 3D Zelda entries.
If they will appear any time in 2011 or 2012 they will be announced at E3 most likely.

Honestly, I don't think we'll see a "new" Zelda on 3DS within the next few years. I'd expect a MM remake and TWW port to probably happen first.
Mario I can see though, but probably not 3D like 64/Sunshine/Galaxy1-2, though we get ports/remakes of those. NSMB3(D) should be a 2012 game though.
It'll give them every opportunity to save a mega-hit (such as Mario Kart 3D) for the end of the year to launch against the PSP2.

The Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, Paper Mario trifecta will probably ensure 3DS holds it's own against anything else in Q4 (NGP, iPhone 5, etc). There's also probably going to be major 3rd party stuff like MGS3D and Layton 5 around then.

The first two Paper Marios never held up system sales. I mean, I love them, it's a great series, but it's appeal is to those who will be early 3DS adopters anyway.
Even if Nintendo plays it right, I think NGP will outsell 3DS in the first Christmas simply because 3DS will take time to build a mass audience like the DS did, while a great number of people who own a PSP or PS3 will jump on this right away. Of course 3DS will do better in the long run as long as it gets the DS 20m titles out.

By then 3DS will have had time to build momentum, though. If the 3DS were launching in, say, August, your scenario might play out.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
