excellent news! Another million seller on a 'dead' console. Nintendo keeps defying the odds.

What odds is Nintendo defying with this?

Edit: It's proving the people wrong that say nobody likes 2D Mario games anymore though, which are mostly people that dislike the NSMB series.

Good thing it has 3 other graphical styles then, and the fact that you can make your own levels, some of which are a lot better than the boring ones in NSMB. So how does it prove them wrong exactly? Also, no one even said nobody likes 2D Mario games anymore, people have been criticizing NSMB vfor lack of ambition, not lack of sales. Trash sells, sometimes.

What odds are Nintendo defying? How many million sellers does Sony (or third party studios) have on the Vita? How many does Sega have on the DC?

Not sure what point you're making, but Vita has 4 million sellers, 2 by Sony.  Dreamcast has six million sellers, 5 by Sega.  Wii U has 12 million sellers all by Nintendo.
