When you release a game on
any console, you are competing with all the other Third, Second, and (even on PS3 and 360, the occasional) First Party games of high quality, with established names from established developers...

Probably both, and a few more... You also have to take into consideration the fact that, during the previous two generations, there had been significantly fewer Nintendo consoles in the hands of consumers then there were say, Playstations (Something like 6-to-1 last gen, 3-to-1 the gen before that)... So lower sales were to be expected to begin with...
