3DS perfectly follows the PS3 path to success

Anyway the launch sales are starting to speak for themselves that the 3DS is in fact in higher demand than the PS3 was at launch, the price does need to come down for the long haul however, but overall the 3DS has had one of the best launches ever and some of the most appealing things to non gamers I have shown are in fact the built in games and applications much like Nintendo wanted.

That's a really flawed comparison. Sony had massive production problems and could only supply 200k and 100k units for the American and Japanese launch, respectively. If the 3DS didn't top that, oh my gosh. The PS3's European launch didn't suffer from supply problems and was around 600k units, so around 150k units higher than the 3DS launch.

Which is in of itself flawed when Sony has better ways to supply many more European countries

Also the sales were not around 600k it was 527k by VGC numbers so less than 100k difference in others.

Also another good point brought up, that I forgot to mention, was the profit on the system at launch
