That's probably the easiest thing to understand. 3DS games are priced lower than other platforms. Publishers get less $/sale, so there's incentive to go on other platforms.

Terrible argument. 3ds games also cost WAY less to develop and sell similar numbers to console games.

When I decide whether or not to buy a console, I look at the games it already has that interest me, and the games announced for the future. Then there's a third factor. Upcoming games in the future that are not yet announced, but that we can expect. For example, if after only two years on the market a console has 15 or so games released or announced that interest you, you wouldn't expect it to release or announce 0 new games in the years after that that interest you, right? (Extreme example.)
And in this case in particular I was comparing it a bit to the DS, and my expectations based on that as I found so so many games on that system that interested me.

So basically what I was saying here was, when I purchased the console, what it already had out and what was known to be on the way was looking very good to me. But after that, I was surprised at the pace it continued.

I'm mostly talking about me, though even in general it appears to get less releases than what would be expected in the past few years, for a system with so many units sold. There are even games being made that could be put on the console, but are skipping it. For example, Resident Evil: Revelations 2 is being released for every system including the Vita, but not the 3DS, where the first game in the series originated. That seems odd.

Not really. It's not like it requires a lot less money to developer Monster Hunter 4 than it did Monster Hunter tri.

Yes, because there has been a decline in the number of games comign out for it for quite a while now. And while I'm mentioning subjective views, this is also about the issue in general, as they're usually correlated.
I want to hear what people think both from a general standpoint, and from their own experience. Or they can even comment on my taste if they want. It's not that complicated. Just say whatever you want on the subject. If you read some of the other replies in the thread, you'll get the idea.
