They're going after different markets... so technically the NGP could sell less then the 3DS and be more successful.

The NGP will be selling to martian cows?

NGP hardcore gaming market off the bat. 3DS mass market consumer product. It's subtle.

There's some cross over etc, but there's a difference.

Er, no, the 3DS is pretty plainly going for hardcore adoption upfront.  That's why stuff like SSF4 is being pushed so hard at launch, and the heavy emphasis on traditional gaming 3rd party games in general (to build a strong market for those games early on)... Nintendo wants 3DS to take both the casuals who got a DS and the core who got a PSP.  It's a different strategy than they tried with DS/Wii upfront.
