Is the DS all over again exactly a bad thing, considering thats the fastest selling gaming device of all time?

Exactly my Point! ;P

Did the DS ever go through a point of selling just 26k, AFTER having success earlier?

 

I dont think so.

The year after launch through spring/summer the DS was around 20-40k a week in Japan. The fact that the Wii is "down" to this level is hardly a big concern for long term sales considering where the DS is now. But as I am sure you are ignoring ALL consoles/handhelds have had issues the past few weeks. Big titles have helped others out and back on track this last week but its still to early to say this is going to be a long term trend. And the Wii is still outselling the PS3 by double in Japan and similar or better situations are in the other regions so I don't think when comparing it to the other consoles these are really bad numbers.

I see this as a reason to keep an eye out for a developing trend and certainly not a good thing, but nothing to cry over and nothing for Wii naysayers to jump up and down about.
