I agree, but worldwide I think. The 3ds is still epensive (I don't count 2ds, and sales show no one else does either), the base model 3ds is still $170, xl at $200. When those prices come way down, I think the 3ds will sell like gangbusters. The original ds was always cheap, and sold well because it was. All the 3ds naysayers seem to want to down play it current price vs the ds, (again, 2ds wasn't wanted, look at its sales) with its awesome library and a low price, base 3ds for $99-$119, xl for $149, it will sell more. Remember, the 3ds model that sells is the xl, for $200. To say the the 3ds hit it's peak already, to me at least, is preposterous.

I dont get why u think the 2DS is doing so horribly, if we go by the latest quarterly shipments it seems nobody wants the original 3DS.

Americas/Others

3DS-0.26/0.13

XL-1.56/1.27

2DS-1.11/1.00

So in regions that 2DS has released in, XL is the most popular, 2DS is just below it and the original 3DS is doing horrible.

I've never seen a breakdown, I've only read that the 2ds accounted for 5% of total sales.... Where did you get those numbers from? Link?

Well yeah it only accounts for 5% of total sales because its only been available for like 3 months and hasnt released in Japan. But in the most recent financial report they gave a breakdown on how each has done in each region so far this fiscal year. I got the 3DS/XL numbers by subtracting the previous reports numbers from the most recent one.
