CAGiversary!
Another question is how long developers have known about it. If it's recent, this could easily lead to a rash of delayed games to build this functionality in. I'm sure one of the first thing a developer looks at with a 3DS game is how to get around the lack of a second stick, and now it's a moot point.
Not to be the doom and gloom guy, but the recent spate of 3DS delays and cancellations recently... wonder if it has to do with this? Delays to work it in, cancellations from developers and publishers who realized Nintendo doesn't know what the they're doing. Conspiracy theory, sure, but put yourself in the shoes of people paying to make games for this thing. With the amount of backpedaling Nintendo has been doing, would you really want to invest the money in making a 3DS game that will be out a year from now?
This holiday season, for better or worse, is going to tell the future of this system. Right now, even as a day one supporter and proponent of this system... I really don't know anymore. If Nintendo always did one thing that gave hope, it was their steadfast refusal to admit flaws. It may have pissed us off, but Nintendo never appeared anything but 100% behind their product. In trying to rectify lagging sales, I'm afraid they really opened up a huge PR disaster. If Nintendo doesn't believe in the 3DS, why should I?
