Apples and oranges. To the best of my knowledge, the DS did not sell only half of what Nintendo publicly expected it to in its first month. In fact, the DS's success was far from guaranteed, to the point where even Nintendo took pains to call it the "third pillar" instead of Nintendo's next handheld; they left themselves an out in case they needed to fall back on the Gameboy. That is not the case with the 3DS: they have indisputably put all their handheld eggs into the 3DS basket, and yet they've stumbled out of the gate.
