I don't think anyone can rightly say that the sales are "low", but everything boils down to two main questions;
1: How will it look around this time next year, not to mention two years?
2: Is it a good thing that handhelds are so reliant on the Japanese market when we know they're shifting more towards mobile than anyone else? Not to mention countless revisions.
In global sales, the 3DS is not showing impressive numbers, not if you compare it to the PS4, Wii or least of all; the DS. Which in itself should be raising eyebrows since the 3DS is practically without competition whereas the DS beat the successful PSP that has sold in excess of 80 million and even did great in Japan. There is simply no denying that dedicated handhelds are in serious trouble in the very near future (I believe I said that the market would collapse within 3-5 years, back in 2012) and that is a legitimate issue to discuss. The sales are not in any way low, but relatively speaking; they are actually "low".
