Why should 3DS be a failure? Japan numbers are highly inflationed by the disaster...

Then why did the 3DS already get outsold by the PSP of all things?  Think about it; the PSP continues to be supply constrained, while the 3DS is not.  In fact, the 3DS in Japan sits at roughly half of what Nintendo claimed it would sell this month.  Half!  It's going down, fast.

Its the wrong day for atricles like that...i really dont know if im gonna take this serious or not ^^

Of course it's serious.  The facts are undeniable, for starters.  So do you agree or disagree?

Then why DS got outsold many times in 2006-2007 and it's at 2.5 times the numbers of PSP? One week means nothing, hell, one country means nothing. 3DS is not a fail...it got outsold one week by 200 units in one country and it's a failure? PSP is a win for the first PS console, a lose for the handheld supposed to kill Nintendo; Wii is a win for it's numbers but a failure for the third party's support; PS3 is a win for its library, but what about profits for Sony? 3DS...right now we could say a win for its preorders and fail for its first month's sales? Not really, those mean nothing, trends are important but 3DS comes out in a context so different from the DS/PSP one that comparing it to the previous gen is a bit foolish, especially taking that as a proof for future.
