So what would you have them do, drop support for 3DS as well as Wii U? Like other people have said, the 3DS software support--bar Pokemon--is comprised of support from smaller studios, localised titles already out in Japan, and ports of Wii U games. It's not a resource intensive investment on Nintendo's part and there are still tens of millions of 3DS owners to satisfy. Plus, when the NX launches, the user base won't be huge, so there's no point in Nintendo throwing every bit of software at it and hoping it sticks. Releases need to be consistent, but there's no point drowning a new system in releases because early adopters can only buy so many games.
As for amiibo functionality in New Leaf, I think that has more to do with the Animal Crossing app and short term profit than anything else. I expect we'll see a mobile announcement in the Animal Crossing Direct. Who knows, if NX has been revealed by then, we may see an NX version. Everything is up in the air until Nintendo reveal the device and first wave software.

That could only make any sense if you assume people have to buy every game. Needless to say, they do not. And what, late adopters are able to buy every game somehow even though there's hundreds more at that point? Nintendo has already thrown everything at the 3DS, it has hundreds of games. If you still aren't satisfied with it that's really not Nintendo's problem at this point. Plus I really don't see how more ports spin-offs and sequels would make the difference between dissatisfaction and satisfaction for anyone.
Now for the bolded, this is just so, so wrong. You are implying that less games is better. Um, yeah, absolutely not! People buy video game systems to play games, so in no universe does having less games make people more inclined to buy your system. You don't build a userbase by not having games, you build one by having them, a lot of them. I mean come on, this is just common sense, yet I've had to explain this twice now.
