Nintendo is always so stupid with the release of their systems lately. You rarely get the killer app for months, if not a year, and the first inflow of games are all about the gimmick more than the gameplay and tend to be mostly mini games. I can understand allowing time for third parties to get their shit in, but it definitely makes them suffer.
Plus there's the fact that, at least with their handheld devices, you should never buy the first one unless you're a diehard gamer because there will be one one or two years down the line that is vastly superior AND have a better library. The iPhone strategy is fine for some devices, but not for a game system. You're essentially a beta tester who pays more for a far less superior product.
