Is the 3DS a failure?

[Soundwave]

I don't think Nintendo expected 3DS to match DS (though I'm sure they would've liked that just fine, lol), but I do think they were expecting at least 100 million units -- that still would've been a huge drop from the DS, but still a large success.

The GBA would've hit 100+ mill too had it not been prematurely replaced, no question.
