3DS selling well? When PSP sales were similarly low last year everyone cried " the PSP is dying!" Now they're considered good when it comes to 3DS?

Hurray for doubles standards =D

yup that is how fanboys work I mean at this point of the PSP's life it had sold 1,657,255 in the Americas vs 1,013,436 for the 3DS

The PSP was also released in the Christmas shopping season ...

If you look at how the Nintendo DS was selling at a similar time of the year in its first year after being released the 3DS is selling at a similar rate. The 3DS' sales look so "Awful" when launched aligned against most systems because it is one of the few systems that didn't get released in the consumer orgy that is the Christmas shopping season; a 6 to 8 week timeframe where up to 50% of a system's sales for the year can occur in.

From wikipedia USA release date NA March 24, 2005 that is kinda a few months after xmas...
