I would hardly describe the 3DS launch as "disastrous," and it had recovered quite well by the end of 2011. It is still "struggling" (by which I mean selling better than the PSP ever did, but not up to scratch with the DS) in America, and doing "poorly" (by which I mean slowly but surely) in Europe.

Nintendo gamers can talk about any system failing the same way Sony gamers can express concerns about Wii U sales even after the Vita launch. Because it's silly to expect people to keep their mouths shut and ignore reality just because their console of choice is also selling poorly.
