The part I find odd about the article is the idea that the 3DS's launch only appealed to the hardcore. I'm pretty sure the 3DS's problem was that it didn't appeal to anyone. It took an entire year for them to release a truly stellar title for the console that was not a port.
Hey now, some of the system's best game came out in the holidays last year. In fact the first year, when looked at in its complete form, is one of the best on any system. The problem was the first few months. Coupled with other issues, of course, such as confusion with the DS and changes in the market meaning that you need to come out with more, quickly.
But an entire year? It didn't take that long.
I would also argue that they did focus on the hardcore in the launch window, relatively speaking.
