if i'm not mistaken, DS launched months later in other regions, so it's unfair to say that 3DS is doing better considering most of the DS sold at the time was Japan only?

I was about to say this.

However, the fact that it's even close is still mighty impressive, considering the original DS had a holiday period under its belt already in many regions, while 3DS is just coming up on its first one.  Not to mention that, even after adjusting for inflation, the price-dropped 3DS is still a bit more expensive than the DS was.

Too bad about Nintendo`s profits this quarter, though.

Absolutely everything I wanted to say.  I must be getting old.  In the past, I'd be the first person to pounce on a thread like this!!
