3DS isn't doing bad in the west, it's selling decently considering that it's still priced much higher than the DS was at this point in its life span (traditionally, handhelds that sell at $150 or more haven't done very well in the West... *cough* Lynx, Game Gear, PSP, PSV *cough*).
And on the software side of things, the software tie ratio of handhelds is traditionally much lower than consoles, and with the system still being very early in its life cycle and both the PS3 and 360 still selling well this late in their cycles, why would anyone expect 3DS titles to routinely make the top 10 in sales in the west?

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
