Is the 3DS a failure?

Its below GBA sales which is more comparable

Indeed it is! GBA managed 80m sold units in quite afew years. It had sold OVER 80m by 2010, but the DS came out in 2004, which means the GBA more or less only had 3-4 years to sell close to 80m... 3DS isn't even close to 80m after 4 years

The GBA was at about 60m when the DS launched.

WHAT?! Really?? Man, it pulled 20m+ AFTER the DS was released?? I'm quite impressed. But 60m units in 3 years is quite good, and much better than 3DS.
