I think embarrassment is too harsh a term, but it has been a disappointing year on the sales and software front. I haven't been paying much attention to the 3DS this year, and although I knew it was down YoY, I didn't think it was as low as 8 million.

8mil? Even if is overtracked by 500k, its going to be over 9mil for the year ;-D (possibly close to 9.5mil-10mil)

Thats actually a good number considering many factors here^

I know it will have a few more good weeks and end up over 9, but like I said I haven't been following it too closely and already thought it had done about 10 million, not 8.  Still not a bad figure, it's a shame it isn't better though
