I'd say as far as market penetration, it's a great success.

As far as Sony's expectations (that it would completely blow away the DS, as they loved to brag) it's a failure.

As far as software attach rate and software sales, it's a dismal failure.

Overall? It's a mediocre success, and it's impressive it has survived in the market with a phenomenon like the DS.
