Nintendo & many others have confirmed that the 3DS sold more Hardware in it's first 1 year sales, then GBA.

Where exactly have they said this?  Because in the first four quarters of availability the GBA shipped 12.17 million between Americas and Other. They only have 6 month and full year numbers for that period of time, so I can't get the exact amount for Japan since it launched there a about 10 days before the previous fiscal year ended.  So you could either go with the 4.92 million from quarters 2-5 or 5.98 million from quarters 1-5.

If we do 5 quarters of Japan and 4 for both Americas and Others we get

GBA: 18.15 million

3DS: 16.22 million.

For sell through the GBA has a pretty commanding lead in the US, and just a small deficit in Japan.  Don't have any European sell through numbers.
