Apparently the 3DS is selling badly because it's selling worse than the 2nd best selling video game system of all time!

It's also not likely to pass PSP, which some still call a failure with a bad library. It'll be the worst selling Nintendo handheld ever, unless something major happens. So far this year, it's on track to be the lowest or 2nd lowest year of its life.

I think it will pass the psp easily, nintendo just needs to add a new peripheral to an umpcoming hardware revision like what they did to DSi by adding a camera, or make a slim 3DS I mean most DS's sold were slim DS's.

It has virtually no chance of passing it. It has hit the typical decline part of Nintendo consoles' sales curve. Won't take that long from here for it to almost stop selling. I see a successor being announced next year, too, which will accelerate the decline.

A succesor being announced next year. Yeah no, there won't be a ninth gen console coming out soon.  If ninty does that they will literally be shooting themselves in the foot.
