How is the 3DS really doing compared to the DS in the U.S? 3DS/DS sales gap~

this thread just makes your other thread look even more ridiculous.  3DS sells ~5M units in 16 months but wii U could do 5M in a month and half (or less)...

They follow very different curves. But yeah, I don't expect the WiiU to sell 5M either. I'd say 4m.

The Wii sold 3m in a month and a half upon launch, so 4-5M isn't hoping so hard.

you are making a very bold assumption that not only will wii U not just not follow a "normal" console curve but also outperform a phenomenon by 33%.  given a november launch (thus launching at the ~same time as the wii), if wii U's 2012 sales even out performs wii's 2006 sales i'll be impressed.
