The interesting thing is that in the same time frame. there were 680k gba units shipped down from 980k of last year! So 3ds reduced the  gap by 600k units... Still is fairly behind it  mosty due to the Americas but it's good to see the difference being rebated!

3DS shows way better legs than gba...Exciting!

Not surprising. How long had the DS been out for at this point in the GBA's life? The GBA got like a bit less than 4 years before it was replaced by the DS. The GBA will get at least 6 before it is replaced.

Of course that not's suprising, but I can't veil my slight fear of 3ds not having good legs, especially with that NX speculation ( which by comparison with gba would  mean that 3ds would  end up below the desirable and honorable milestone of 70m )  or rather the comensurate legs in order to approach gba as much as possible)  which by comparison with gba would  mean that 3ds would  end up below 70m!

Your point is valid and I take that detail into acoount, but remember we're talking about fat ds, ds became a hot thing after ds lite launch!

To be honest, my  jubilation lies in  my keen desire for 3ds to close as much as possbile the gap with gba ( since the relevant and indicative comparison for handheld console market is GBA VS 3DS not the unfair ds vs 3ds  ;) , and that will happen by having better legs than GBA... ;) So this extend of shrikange elates me ( I wish it to  continue ) and I'm sure it's the same with you, because you're an objective sony fan who wants all consoles to do well or as much as well they can! ;)

GBA sold another 6m till the end  of its life... (FY09 ) hence 3ds must have another three years of sales, if not more...It depends on what NX is.

So far NX hurting mostly wii u sales and that in  a great extend!
