I believe you have recieved incorect information or may be missunderstanding. The 3DS is actually doind quite well, in Japan it is sell abojut 100,00 consols per week and in the US in just 8 months it has sold more than the original DS did in it's whole first year and the DS was the best selling game system of all time so far. As for the Slide Pad Pro, it was created at a request by Capcom and most feel it was not needed. It is regarded as nothing more that the same as a Classic Controlor Pro for the wii, an additional controlllor that can be used to play some games but is essentially unneeded. It has also been confirmed to be releasing in the EU areas with RE: Revelations in a bundle. And if reports are to be believed more people are ordering 3G without it than with it. As far as games for the 3DS there are quite a few. Most of the better ones have not been released yet due to nintendos decision though, most likely to wait till the holiday season and untilcloser to when the Vita is to be realead. which is a good business decisions. But yea as it is right now the 3DS is doing great and the circle pad pro is just an extra optional play method that adds little more than a way to placate capcom for nintendo. and finally, Nintendo is recieving no "help" from capcom. It is more likely Nintendo has paid capcom quite a bit to have MH on the 3DS and off any sony portable systems for the next year or two. which is also a good business decision.
