3DS- a lack of games?

We all know that Nintendo's 3DS isn't really selling that well, although i brought one! Anyway, why is this? Many people have been saying it's because it is a gimicky console, it has terrible graphics, and some just think it's a DS. These are partially right, although really I can't see any other reason for it not to sell well apart from a lack of quality first party games. Nintendo has had plenty of gimicky, bad graphics consoles before (Wii, DS...), but are they considered commercial failures? Sure, the DS started off slow, but as soon as Nintendo started pumping out games, it became one of the best selling consoles in the world. That's why i'm really hoping that when games such as Animal Crossing, Mario Kart 3DS, Super Mario 3D World, Star Fox 64 3DS and whatever game Pokedex 3D is creating sprites for come out, the 3DS will sell just as well, maybe even better, than it's predecessors.

P.S. The best way to help out Nintendo in this time of financial difficulty is to buy a 3DS! I mean, they're even having a price cut!
