Why are people saying the 3DS is selling badly?

Though I do agree with this, I still think that the sales were bad, because Sony thought so. The early price cut is a clear sign of that. People can debate all they want, but at the end of the day Sony is a company that invests money on their products. If they are not happy, it means that they are not being successful, which they weren't with the ps3. So I stand by my point. The ps3 did not do well. The 3ds isn't doing great either, but it's doing considerably better.

I'm sure they did/do. But I mention the Genesis/SNES scenario because the SNES was eventually positively-received despite not doing as well as the NES. I'm sure this will be the case for the 3DS in due time. Obviously the profitable aspects are a different story, but then Sony's financial woes shouldn't be exclusively attributed to the PS3, as much as it didn't help their situation.

Yup, that's a good point.
