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

The only reason it's total is 80 million only is because it was prematurely cut off by the DS. It would've sold 100+ million easily otherwise, maybe even 120 million. 3DS isn't going to come close to that. 

the DS was released because GBA sales were drastically slowing down after like 2 years. you can spin it your way, but the reality is it can easily be spun the other way

U are absolutely wrong.
