Those 3ds numbers are borderline pathetic.

I have a feeling that the 3ds will be a disaster in the west.

I don't understand this feeling. It's sold almost 7 million units in N. America alone, nearly 13 million if you include Europe.

3DS lacks the appeal the ds originally had, plus after a hardware revision, massive price drop, constant mario games

 

It get's outsold by the ds?

Where were you when the DS was at 21 months? I bet you were there bitching up a storm like you are now, completely oblivious to the fact that the 3DS is outselling the DS at the same point in time in their lifecycles(21 months). How is selling better then the DS in the same amount of time, bad? Do you forget that the DS is half the price of the 3DS, has more revisions(larger consumer base), larger library, and more people in US who know it exists(aka more people aware of the brand DS, therefore plan to buy that). Something cheaper, with a larger consumer base and larger library, when that comes around and is still coming out with new blockbuster games(pokemon), of course it will sell like hotcakes.

I think some people are just desperate to look for holes on a highly successful company.  It doesn't matter though as the monies still go to Nintendo so haters can hate all they want. On another note, if Nintendo does drop the price of the 3DS (insane if they do as it's still selling decent) they would have to deal with keeping up demand for 2 hot consoles instead of one.
