So after the NPD, is the 3DS doomed again?

What I find troubling for the 3DS is that Mario Land 3D, according to the Japan Preview, has only ~50,000 preorders in Japan. It releases in like 2 weeks. I would have thought that just about everyone who owns a 3DS (plus those who are purchasing a 3DS for ML 3D), especially in Japan, would be preordering it. I wonder if the upcoming Vita launch is stealing some of the enthusiasm people had for the 3DS.

Nintendo games tend to not be too much pre-ordered. Super Mario Galaxy at the same time has less pre-orders and reachs at least a million. 3DS userbase is about 2 million in Japan, so it's too early. These games has legs.

Also, MK7 and MH3G are big games. The later is still like 7-8 weeks and is almost the most pre-ordered game.
