As others mentioned, the ps3 had to compete with xb360, which launched before ps3 and was doing well and wii which had phenomenal sales. 3ds' only competition has been the vita, a console that has yet to sell 10m and it's been years. Also the 3ds was pulling some impressive numbers the last two years with consistent 100k+ weekly sales in Japan alone, so yeah things are not looking great. Also, you can look at past prediction threads. No one (apart from extreme cases) expected to sell so badly apart from the limited time that it struggled before its price cut.
