Can/will Nintendo ever see the Wii + DS height ever again?

the 3DS has the sequels to two of the four 20 million+ sellers (at least, I don't know about Nintendogs.) Yet none of them are close to those numbers. Obviously those games largely drifted on the incredible success of the DS. What you're saying is akin to saying that

'it wasn't the motion controls that sold the Wii, it was Wii Sports that did it'

And the DS didn't have the fierce competetion of phones and tablets that the 3DS has now.

That gave me a good chuckle.

How?

Everyone knows the Wii sold because Nintendo purposefully constrained supply to create a Wii-mania. They spoke about it for years before release and tested it with DS. Why do you think it was always 'sold out'?
