Double standards about the sales of the 3DS...

You shouldn't compare it to the DS. Some systems really shouldn't be compared to XD It's not a failure for sure, but it is definitely under performing compared to how it should be. It's really odd too, after it hit 40-50 (too lazy to recheck) it just stopped selling... It's been where its at since the beginning of the year practically. I feel it has to do with it not being too much of an upgrade of a standard DS Lite so the average person won't feel the need to buy one since they feel like what they have is good enough

That's just the charts not getting updated. :p

But yeah, 3DS sales have really fallen off this year. Looking at the annual totals, as of the latest chart update, the 3DS is sitting at a pretty piddly 4-something million for the year despite the launch of the N3DS, and sales fell about a few million in 2014 compared to 2013. I expect the 3DS to settle between 60m and 70m, but I don't expect it to hit 60m before this year is up.

Yeah, I could see that. But I think it'll happen late next year with another price drop. I think by Fall/Winter 2016 the 2DS will be $80, 3DS XL $140, New 3DS XL at $170 and it seems in NA they're wanting to only bundle the standard New 3DS so it'll probably be around $170-ish. But we'll see what the future holds for the system. It'd be cool if it could reach 80m but I'm doubting that at this point
