So, I must ask. How is Nintendo failing?

This seems to be the general consensus from around the net. It was that the 3DS wasn't going to do that well. Then that become the 3DS isnt doing so well in North America and that Nintendo had lost the North American audience. Now it is nearly doubling the sales of the 360 and PS3 in North America.

Can someone explain this to me? I am confused.

I don't think anyone thinks they're. People will only see as much negative press as they want to. The Wii U is getting a bad wrap because alot of people are unsure of its capabilities and eventual 3rd party support, but the 3DS... I don't think so, not since its starting getting good games (winter 2011). Its winter 012 line up isn't very strong in the west.

As for the 3DS's 200% boost in sales, I don't know where this came from. NSMB2+ 3DSXL I guess, but this seems like a delayed sales response as the launch week sales were not spectacular. I'd vouch that the new Penelope Cruz adverts have helped over here in Europe+UK.
