Is price a major factor in poor 3DS/Wii U sales compared to GBC/N64 & GBA/GC?

2DS releasing 2.5 years after 3DS is the equivalent of the original Gameboy releasing 2.5 year after Gameboy Color or the original Gameboy Advance releasing 2.5 years after the Gameboy Advance SP. They would be destined to low sales regardless of price because they are seen as inferior devices (worse screens/form factors).

i remember when people swore it would boost 3ds sales a lot

Yup the cheaper 2DS + Pokemon X/Y was supposed to cause 3DS sales to skyrocket. Reality said nope.
