3DS is doing ok but not gangbusters - it could reach 5m sales this year but that's still far from the over 8m the DS posted back in its high time. The XL didn't do a lot to push 3DS sales, what Nintendo needs is a "3DS Lite" with a more mass market feeling (lighter, better looking, less complicated design. battery life improvements) and a subsequent lower price point of the current model. I hope they got one ready for 2013.
The Vita reminds me a lot of the N64's sales pace - a huge first week followed by low sales. Just like the N64 the Vita is having trouble to sell 10k units a week. The N64 reached that 1 million units mark quite a bit faster, though. Gamecube was much faster as well. At least those consoles had a user base right from the start - the Vita still doesn't even have that 1 million units base installed. I am still hoping for the Vita to turn out like the PSP did - lots of good games for very low prices. But that won't happen with those kinds of sales.
