Relax, its just a pizza. Be glad you dint go for go to any resturaunt and order what you want. :p "Ill have a 16oz rib eye with a side of lobster please" 

Lol, the only reason the gap isn't larger is because MS is constantly having to do deals for XBO, some even looking like Black Friday deals, even though they already have a $50 advantage.  Now, what is going to happen when Sony finally decide to give the PS4 a pricecut?  Or if they were matching MS's deals like for like?  I'll give you the answer, the gap would be much larger.  Just watch the gap in Sept. with the new Destiny bundle.

This is very true =]

PS4 can  be proven more expensive than you would expect.

Free Xbone for everyone !

If you subtracted the values of some of the things MS will be throwing in with the XBO after a $299 PS4 is launched, I wouldn't be surprised if they do start selling it for practically nothing. 

Since Sony fans love using it as an excuse, guess ill use it as well. 3DS is also Nintys most expensive handheld.

What would Sony fans need to excuse? The PS4 not beating the competition by enough?

FYI the GBA launched at 150$ in 2001, which is the equivalent to 189$ in 2011 (3DS launch). The 3DS's price may have started out higher than that, at 249$, but in just 6 months, it's price was cut to 169$.

The reason GBA had much higher sales in the US is because the US did not embrace the DS nearly as quickly as Japan and Europe did, so the GBA had a more normalized life cycle in the US.

But the GBA was not some odd outlier, the Game Boy Color released in November 1998, had similar yearly sales numbers to the GBA. Basically since the introduction of Pokemon and addition of a color Game Boy model in the US, sales of Nintendo handhelds in the US have been fairly consistent ... until this generation where we see a definite drop off due to the 3DS.

Nintendo handheld shipments (USA):

FY Ending March 2000 = 8.7 million Game Boys in the US (Game Boy Color)

FY Ending March 2001 = 7.74 million Game Boys in the US (Game Boy Color), a little drop-off here but to be expected because the Game Boy Advance had been announced and was on the verge of launch.

FY Ending March 2002 = 7.57 million GBAs + 1.46 Game Boy Color models (US market)

FY Ending March 2003 = 7.8 million GBAs

FY Ending March 2004 = 9.45 million GBAs (peak year, this is where the GBA SP model is introduced)

Nintendo DS launch, now lets take a look at sales globally here, and you'll see that the DS adoption is much slower in the US than Japan for example

FY Ending March 2005 = GBA = 2.34 (JPN) + 8.56 (US) + 4.49 (EU) = 15.39
DS = 950k (EU) + 2.12 (JPN) + 2.19 (US) = 5.26

We see the GBA still selling at a monstrous 8.56 in the US, which is its regular sales rate (more or less) of the Game Boy brand for the previous 5-6 years in the US.

(FY March 2006) - GBA = 1.0 (JPN) + 4.7 (US) + 2.6 (EU) = 8.3
DS = 4.78 (JPN) + 2.92 (US) + 3.76 (EU) = 11.46
19.76m total

Here we see again, weak-ish DS sales in the US, but still OK GBA sales.

FY March 2007 - GBA = 110k (JPN) + 3 (US) + 1.22 (EU) = 4.33
DS = 9.12 (JPN) + 6.63 (US) + 7.81 (EU) = 23.56
27.86m total

OK, so look at that difference, 3 million GBAs still be shipped to the US market, while only 110k to Japan. As of 2007 Nintendo is still kind of in the transition phase in the US market.

FY March 2008 - GBA = 220k (JPN) + 540k (US) + 820k (EU) = 1.58m
DS = 6.36 (JPN) + 10.65 (US) + 13.3 (EU) = 30.31
31.89m total

Now finally in 2008 we see the US market embrace the DS whole heartedly and the GBA is finally basically phased out to sub-1 million shipments.

The 3DS is just selling poorly compared to the GBC, GBA, and DS in the US market. There's just no shaking that. Nintendo has had handheld shipments/sales of 7-8+ million beginning with the Game Boy Color since 2000 in the US market alone.

It's not until the 3DS we start to see a baseline of sub-7 million numbers in the US market, to the point where we are today where Nintendo can barely ship 7 million 3DS' worldwide (this year)! This is not good, even the Game Boy Color before it was replaced by the GBA was selling 7+ million in the US market easily, now Nintendo can barely manage that with the 3DS in US + EU + Japan combined, and this is with a new hardware model (N3DS) in 2/3 markets this year. That's very poor by Nintendo's standards. 

Bro, its not Pizza, its buffet and there is 3 of them. @_@

It's not only in the US the 3DS is down quite a bit compared to the GBA. At roughly the same point in its life compared to where the 3DS is now, the GBA had sold 19 million in the "Other" region (Which btw doesn't match 100% with Europe, there were/are other, albeit small regions also included under that term) compared to the 3DS's 16 million, and, get this, that's despite the DS having been out for almost a year by then. So that's 3 million more in the other region, despite its successor having been out a year. Like I said, if the GBA had been given a longer life, it could've done a lot more. The only region were the 3DS is performing better than the GBA is Japan, were the difference, with launches aligned is about 3.5 million. So if we ignore the Americas, the 3DS is up 0.5 million. Sure, that paints a much brighter picture, but then you remember that this is 1 year after the DS launch in the GBA's lifespan, while the 3DS still reigns alone. Once again it comes back to the GBA getting a successor super quickly (3 and a half years). I'm pretty confident that the GBA could've managed 30 million in the Other region alone, or at least pretty darn close to it, had it's successor come at the same point it its life as the 3DS' successor will, yet the 3DS might just reach 20 million.
