The 3DS is starting to fall waaaaaaaay behind the DS.

3DS 10th quarter (this recent one) April-June 2013 - 1.4 million shipped

DS 11th quarter (chose this one because it's the closest equivalent) April-June 2007 - 6.58 million shipped

That's a pretty huge gap.

Excluding the Virtual Boy, is the Wii U the worst performing Nintendo console ever, so far?

Well outside of the NES/Famicom which had more limited releases (ie: NES was released only in New York City as a test market initially for instance), yes I think Wii U is the worst selling modern Nintendo hardware excluding the Virtual Boy.

SNES, N64, Game Boy, GBA, DS, 3DS, GameCube, and obviously Wii all sold quicker out of the gates.
