Well, it's not horrific. It's just not good, or average. It's pretty slow selling and is trending well below the 'horribly slow selling' 3DS pre-price cut. But it all comes down to perspective.

If you expected it to fail, you'll be happy. If you expected it to do alright, you'd be alright. And if you expected it to do well, or match 3DS/DS/PSP sales, you'd be unhappy.

Obviously Sony expected it to fail, hence they're happy

I think I spot a contradiction.....

so not horrific but worse than horrible?   say what?

I put it in inverted commas. I'm merely making a point that people claimed the 3DS was selling poorly, but it never was. It lived up to expectations, but did not beat them. People were so quick to call them horrible and, thus, 'dooming' Nintendo that the sales never mattered. When one person said it, that was it.

And again, it's all perception. It depends on what your expectations are. For example, were Gravity Rush to sell 1mil FW, it would be deemed an unbeatable success. But were COD to do that, it would be cited as a failure. Because you have different expectations.

 

So, it's not a contradiction. Merely pointing fun at people quick to call doom.
