SNES was certainly a success. Just because it didnt sell as much as the NES, it sold more consoles than it's competitor. 3DS had a rough launch but considering it has sold a plenty and steamrolls it's competitor I would say it certainly doesnt qualify as a "failure". It just happend to succeed one of the most succesful consoles of all time.


SNES sold more than the competitor after the gen had ended... when PS1 entered the market they were still below Genesis... and I said It wasn't very sucesfull, it lost a lot of marketshare and total sales had dropped.

I didn't said neither SNES or 3DS were failures, but if you look at their predecessors sales they didn't do much good... read my first line on the previous post... and 3DS sold less than 40% of what DS had done, that is quite the drop... a lot of people try to say PS3 was an utter failure because it didn't reach 60% of what PS2 had... so how wouldn't 3DS be even a bigger failure? PSP being completely destroyed don't make 3DS look good, when they are selling bellow even PSP.

thats all relative, if you compare it to maybe the next handheld wich only sells 10 million units its successfull xD its less successfull than its predecessors, doesnt mean its doing quite well.
