When does it become impressive then? Can we nail this down now to save time later? It's probably going to pass the PS3 lifetime total next year or so, will that be the start of impressive or do we keep waiting?

When it prints as much money as the DS, then it will be impressive. Selling a lot at a loss isn't much of an achievement.

To be honest I'd say turning around the sales situation Nintendo were experiencing in June to this kind of success is something of an achievement. The 360 sold at a loss in Japan too but it never managed much in the way of sales.
