You can't say that a handheld platfrom with 60m hardware sales and 300m software sales, isn't selling much software, based on selective use of sales charts and individual cases!

Absolutely you cannot say the 3ds has flopped at all, it has performed very well. However I believe naruball when talking about 3ds software is referring to VGChartz figures, such as the PS4 having 250.64 Million Units of Software Sold, and the 3DS having 242.34 Million Units of software sold. Even though the PS4 has a much smaller installbase and has been out 2 and a half years less. But regardless of how it is doing in relation to the PS4 the 3ds is performing well.

As for the Gamecube losing money, I'm not so sure about that.

Home console vs Handheld console software sales-wise? lol for  obvious reasons! Wii sold more than ds being by 53m below it! Why not comparing 3ds to psp software-wise ? 3DS has already sold more and keep selling and it the end it will fall ashort of psp hardware sales-wise!

Anywise, most of 3ds softwares sales are first party...Ok it would be  nice to have the same third party support of ps4 for the royalties, but so much first party titles sales  on your own hardware is as much beneficial, if not more!

 

Anyway, you can't that software sales of platfrom flop when this platfrom will have the best selling exclusives of the gen or even games, when breaking multiplatfrom down  per platfrom, okay only GTA ps4 can be above!

 

You can tell anything negative about Nintendo but not when it comes to their strong point, software sales! Lets see if uncharted 4 will outsell Mario kart 8... Or  how much halo will end up behind it... ( Unless  NX release date announcement, kills MK8 legs and its expontentially increasing attach rate, I hope it won't ! )
