3DS also weak? WTH are they talking about? Nonsense.

3DS is super strong in Japan.

The sales in US and Europe are just ok.

I still think they went overboard with how they described 3DS performance and current status of specialized gaming handhelds. Read the entire three paragraphs.

I tend to agree, especially since Japan was always Sony's one bright spot, sales-wise--I don't think even SONY expected much out of NA or Europe, so it's telling that this alleged 'pull along effect' is having zero effect in Japan. (That of course assumes you buy the idea of a 'pull along effect' and this just wasn't a weak attempt to inoculating the author against 'bias'.)
