I was thinking of getting myself the 3DS. I already have the psp from since long, and it has served me extremely well - with a bunch of high quality good real games that I've spent countless hours playing. I know that the nintendo ds had it's fair share of quality games as well. But looking at what games are about to come for the 3ds, i don't see any "real" games here. Just a bunch of remade games and or revamped old games... most of which I've already played or don't want to play. And then you also got the games like pilotwings, monkeyball and the ports like pro evultion soccer and street figher, which is better on a console anyways.
What I'm looking for, are real games for the 3ds. Preferably rpg/action-adventure games. Like god of war, metal gear solid, disgaea, crisis core etc. or to take examples from nintedos side, games like radiant historia, golden sun, mario games (new, not ports from old ones).
Are those kind of games coming anytime soon for the 3ds? or should I just stick to my psp and wait maybe a year or two?

While the reaction to your post has been a bit over the top, and many people besides yourself haven't been impressed with the launch games, it's the language you used that brought the backlash. Firing back with cheap insults isn't the best way to respond either.
Having said that, you say things like Pilotwings, Monkey Ball, Pro Evo and Street Fighter are better on consoles, but then you ask for games like God of War, MGS, Disgaea and Crisis Core, which are also the sorts of games you'd get on console (probably more suited to consoles than many of the 3DS ones you mentioned).
Having said that, there is a new 3D Mario game on the horizon but just four screenshots so far as it hasn't been long since it was announced. Expect more details at E3. Metal Gear is on the system, but I think it's a port of one of the PS2 games. I wouldn't be surprised if Disgaea came to the 3DS at some point, but I don't think anything has been announced.
As for RPGs, not many that I know of off the top of my head. There are as-yet-unnamed Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Persona and Shin Megami Tensei games apparently in the works, and an enhanced port of a DS game called Devil Survivor that might satisfy your Disgaea needs (well...it's an SRPG). There is some Dragon Quest Monsters game I think, though personally I'm not interested in that. There is also apparently a port of Tales of the Abyss on it's way, if that means anything to you.
It sounds to me like you might be better waiting. Few consoles are at their best around the time of launch (in fact, I can't think of a launch I thought was all that great anytime in the last decade or so), so if not much appeals to you, and you can't find anything on the net about games that you might like, you may as well just hold off for the time being.
