Both Vita and 3DS sales will explode in the West when they are hacked. Not saying its right, but that's just the way it is.

Haha, so true.

NOt to mention the DS is eating into 3DS sales atm. NIntendo American and EUR need to kill the DS off now. Then they need to market the 3ds as a NEW handheld as some people still confused.

Do then?  If the DS is serving a portion of the market, then you keep selling it.  Once the 3DS price gets low enough, you can discontinue the DS.  It is better to lose sales to yourself than a competitor.
