From NeoGaf, I think this is the first time we've seen an official 3DS unit breakdown?

Nintendo 3DS sales breakdown by model (units)

Nintendo 3DS - 26,170,000
Nintendo 3DS XL - 19,590,000
Nintendo 2DS - 4,670,000
New Nintendo 3DS - 1,710,000
New Nintendo 3DS XL - 5,800,000

Total - 57,940,000

Nintendo Wii U sales breakdown by region (units)

Q3 FY 2015

Japan - 430,000 (+34.4% YoY)
The Americas - 900,000 (-10.9% YoY)
Others - 560,000 (-3.4% YoY)

Q1 - Q3 FY 2015

Japan - 750,000 (+53.1% YoY)
The Americas - 1,450,000 (-11.6% YoY)
Others - 870,000 (-3.3% YoY)

Conclusions: The 2DS flopped, and Wii U hardware is down in North America and Europe for the quarter and the fiscal year in North America and Europe but up in Japan largely because of Splatoon. So it seems like it's moving systems in Japan, but not in NA/Europe so much. The smaller New 3DS also has fairly modest sales. 

The Americas in particular seem to be losing interest in the Wii U faster than other markets give those YoY percentage drops. 

The 2DS flopped? I don't really think so. It sold enough units to those people that either were only interested in one game or were looking for a cheap console to their kids. If anything, the N3DS has flopped, they could have only released the XL model and profited from less costs and the bigger price of the XL version.n
