The 3DS is still Nintendo's far and away best selling hardware this gen, even if we remove Japan, in the US and Europe, the 3DS should sell around 18-20 million each in those markets ... which is more than the Wii U worldwide.

Nintendo consoles are the ones not pulling their weight in this equation, even if we factor in the massive challenges traditional portables face in today's market because of smart devices.

In terms of their best markets to worst, for Nintendo it's probably like this

3DS Japan > 3DS North America >= 3DS Europe >> Wii U North America > Wii U Japan > Wii U Europe
