I think in some way the 3DS November NPD numbers were more heartbreaking to Nintendo than the Wii U ones.
They weren't bad sales per se, but I think Nintendo was banking on this fall period being the 3DS' defining moment which would sell well enough to cover up weakness in the Wii U business, which they probably knew wasn't going to be great.
Given everything they put into the 3DS this year, I think they would've liked 1 million+ for November NPD especially with the $99 2DS Black Friday deals.
